Betty's Strawberry Colada Punch

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Strawberry Colada Punch. This is a great drink for celebrating the New Year! You can make it with alcohol or choose the non-alcoholic version. If you are looking for a champagne drink, you will find one of those in bettyskitchen that uses pineapple sherbet, fresh strawberries, and champagne.

Ingredients:

15-oz. package frozen, sliced strawberries, partially thawed
13.5-oz. can coconut milk (You may use cream of coconut.)
3 cups pineapple juice, chilled
3 cups club soda, chilled
2 cups light rum (For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with 2 additional cups of club soda. In this video, I used 1 cup rum and 1 additional cup of club soda.)
crushed ice
sugar or sweetener to taste, optional (Note: I did not use sugar or sweetener in this video, but, if you like sweet drinks, you will probably want to add some sweetener.)

Place a 15-oz. package of partially-thawed, frozen, sliced strawberries into a blender. Add a 13.5-oz. can of coconut milk. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides, if needed. Pour into a punch bowl, or other large container. Add 3 cups pineapple juice, 3 cups club soda, and 2 cups light rum (You may substitute 2 additional cups club soda for the rum for a non-alcoholic version). Add sugar or sweetener to taste, if desired. Stir until blended. Ladle into glasses filled with crushed ice and serve immediately. Enjoy! --Betty 

Betty you were SOOO darn addorable when you said "we might just add some more rum to this". It gave me a Hugh grin on my face b/c you were so cute how you said it. = ) Did you add more rum ? lol That drink looks very good. Hey....anything with pineapples in it - i'm there! = ) We might try that on NewYearsEVe & if I know me I will have rings of pineapple floating on the top in the bowl = ) I bet a piece of mint floating on top in the bowl would look real pretty too.HappyNewYears to You & Rick!

@HoneyBee761 Mine was unsweetened, but it would be better if it was sweetened. I added a bit of sweetener to mine (to taste).

[HoneyBee761]

Yum! Looks Delicious! Is the can of coconut milk sweet or unsweetened?

[shimmerpole]

Alright, I have a party coming up and need something refreshing, so I guess fruit flavoured it is! Thanks again for answering my questions! :)
