Liquids
- 2 ounces white rum (or 1 1/2 ounces for a lighter drink)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add frozen pineapple, frozen mango, white rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and coconut milk into a blender. Measure each ingredient accurately to maintain the drink’s optimal flavor balance.
- Blend: Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until the frozen fruits are completely smooth, creating a creamy and thick consistency. If you desire a thicker colada, add additional frozen pineapple and blend again to your preferred texture.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of rum according to your preference for a stronger or lighter drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase the pineapple juice slightly.
- Use frozen fruits to achieve the ideal thick and refreshing texture without needing ice.
- Garnishes are optional but add an attractive presentation and enhance the tropical vibe.
- If a thicker consistency is desired, add more frozen pineapple rather than ice to avoid dilution.
