This Piña colada is so refreshing, plus it’s way healthier than the normal kind with no flavour loss. This recipe doesn’t use the fatty coconut milk, nor the cream, it’s all natural coco water, no added sugar. The benefits of coconut water are; it lowers blood pressure, also it’s apparently the best rehydrating liquid mother nature ever gave us (way more than those energy drinks), it’s filled with electrolytes, potassium (4 times more than a banana), low in sodium and calories, well it’s the perfect liquid and it taste good!
I’ve add the granita to little shooters of 30ml, but you can easily serve a way bigger amount. Depending what you intend it to be; starter, dessert, or snack… As a starter, I believe, a little bite only is a great start, just to wake up the taste buds.
Let’s get that delicious summer Piña Colada granita going!
