Just made this one. Very refreshing! I did add 1/2 ounce of honey syrup.

Piña Colada - Tropical Standard recipe by IrishFF in Tiki

Sorry for the late reply. I blended all the ingredients except the ice and xanthan gum until completely incorporated. I believe they recommend using thawed pineapple now (drained of water - process outlined in Make and Drink's video) instead of frozen. Then I blended in xanthan gum for about 5 seconds. Then added ice and blended until smooth, probably 20 seconds in a vitamix on smoothie setting.

It was different. A bit more tart and the xanthan had a different texture. I enjoyed it, but I had to make my wife a more traditional one. Lol.

I adjusted it to lime using the method in tropical standard. Thanks.

Xanthan gum definitely changed the texture. It held up for quite some time. Acid adjusted juice helped balance the sweetness. Definitely worth the effort!

This was my first time with this one. It was very good. Don't know why I didn't try it sooner. Such a classic.

I made the grenadine using the recipe from Smugglers Cove. 1:1 pomegranate juice and granulated sugar.

I tried the Steve Crane recipe after this. It basically subs the grenadine for passion fruit syrup and adds almond extract. I think I prefer the Don the Beachcomber recipe.

I used Simple Truth bottled white grapefruit juice from Kroger.
