On average, you're looking at Piña Colada's having around a 13% ABV. Freeze pineapple juice before use. In a blender, combine cream of coconut, frozen pineapple juice, heavy cream and rum. Pour in a desired 12-ounce container and use a cherry and fresh pineapple for a garnish. [14] Variations [ edit ]
