"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain."

Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can of Coco Lopez
1 can of Pineapple Juice
1 quart of half and half



In a half gallon container (I use a plastic milk container) add the can of Coco Lopez, pineapple juice to the half way point and then add the half and half the rest of the way up to the top. Note: Before you open the can of Coco Lopez let it set in some hot water for a few so the coconut cream gets soft and easy to pour, it's very thick and you want to melt it so that it blends with the other ingredients. Shake well. I make a half gallon and refrigerate it overnight in order to let the flavors blend together and thicken up.

To make the Virgin Pina Colada, just add crushed ice to your blender, add enough pina colada mixture to cover the ice. Turn on the blender and blend, baby blend!!!!!!!If you want to add rum or vodka, go right ahead, but then you'll be drinking a real Pina Colada!!!!!!!!




I love this song.


Escape (The Pina Colada Song) Song Lyrics
by Holmes Rupert

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew".

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

I Wish You Love and Happiness And A Good Pina Colada,
Joyce
