A frozen Piña Colada is the perfect summer drink for sipping on the beach or poolside. Use frozen pineapple to thicken the drink with plenty of flavor.
Jump to RecipeNothing says summer like a delicious frozen drink out by the pool or beach! We spend a full week at Fort Myers Beach in southwest Florida, so decided to make a batch of Frozen Piña Colada. The drink is so easy, only needing a few ingredients plus a blender.
The timeshare condo that we own at has a full kitchen with a good amount of supplies and utensils. We tend to do a Walmart Grocery order to pick up on the way every year so they find the ingredients for us. It’s the only time of the year that I do this since it’s so wasteful. But when we are driving hours to get there, we need the convenience.
Our time at Fort Myers Beach is the week I look forward to most of the entire year! My whole family on my mom’s side goes to the same condo. There are 42 units in the building and we own almost 20 of them now. We basically take over the building that week.
My aunt Shawn’s favorite drink is a frozen piña colada, so we made some for her when we took these photos. It was a little strong, but still delicious. I will lower the amount of alcohol just a bit next time, but I’m a lightweight.
Step by Step
At least a few hours before you want to make the piña colada, freeze the pineapple. We got a fresh pineapple, used our corer, and put that in the freezer.
When ready to make the drink, place all ingredients in a blender. Blend everything together until it’s creamy and smooth. If the drink is too runny, add more frozen pineapple or ice. If it’s too thick, add more of any one of the liquids.

Mmm, Mmm good! One of my favorite and most refreshing drinks.
If it’s a favorite, I hope this recipe lives up to expectations!
Now, that sounds like a refreshing summer beach drink! If you took over 20 condos in Ft. Myers, it sounds like quite the family reunion. My Mom lived in Naples, FL for many years and we’d occasionally hop over to Ft. Myers where it was more kid friendly.
Yeah, we’ve kind of taken over half of the building at this point! But it makes it so fun to always be able to find someone we know. I’ve been to the beaches in Naples a couple of time but have always preferred FMB over that and Sanibel.
Thank you so much. It’s one of my favourite refreshing drink. Hadn’t it in a while. I need to make it soon.
If it’s a favorite, I hope you enjoy this version, too!
Oh my goodness! LOVE this! – have NEVER made a piña colada totally from scratch, but we love them, so def must try sometime!
This was our first time, too, and it was delicious!
This sounds super easy and delicious!! I love pina coladas when on vacay!!!
A pina colada or strawberry daiquiri are my two favorites!
Oh yum yum! Just like your Aunt, it’s mine too. This looks so delicious. I need this now..
You should definitely give this a try then! It’s a delicious version of the drink.
I like piña coladas so much! It’s actually my favourite cocktail no matter the season! It’s perfect for any ocasión
Well, I have to agree! They are ideal for the heat of summer, but still can be enjoyed any time of the year.
Oh wow! Nice drink recipe! I am so sure my husband loves this drink. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to share, I hope he enjoys the drink when you guys make it!
This is one of my fav drinks, but without the alcohol. I can now make alcoholic ones for the hubby and non alcoholic ones for me xx
You could easily make one batch with and one without! The first batch we made was too strong for me so we cut it back a little on the next.
It’s going to be over 100 degrees in Las Vegas today. I have a porch and a blender and I can’t wait to enjoy a frozen cocktail this afternoon. 😀 Thanks for the inspo.
Girl, I feel you on those temps! We’ve hit triple digits here in Houston the last two weeks with high humidity. It’s just miserable out there right now!
This sounds so delicious! It sounds like the perfect treat for a hot weekend afternoon day! Can’t wait to try it!
Yes, they were perfect when we were at the beach in South Florida during July! A frozen drink is a great way to cool off a bit when needed.
I have had some pretty good pina coladas in the past. But I have never had a frozen one. This sounds like a delicious way to get one. The fruity flavor and blended just sounds so delicious.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had one that isn’t frozen!
This looks delicious. Pina Colada has recently become my go to flavor, so this is kind of perfect!!
Sounds like I posted this at just the right time, then!
