Recipe Notes
1. I haven't tried it but I think this recipe would work well with coconut cream (maybe omit the coconut extract) or half and half.
2. This recipe works best with runny honey. If honey has crystalized you may want to liquify it before using in this recipe. I haven't tried it but I think agave will substitute well. Just taste after blending to make sure it is sweet enough (as honey tends to be a bit sweeter) and add more, if needed.
3. These pina coladas can also be frozen into popsicle molds for a delicious frozen treat.
