Forget the blender and sugary, sticky mixers—this light and refreshing spin on a classic colada is dangerously delicious and super easy to make. Coconut cream, lemon, and pineapple create all those familiar flavors you love, and spiced rum amps up the yum factor. You finally have an excuse to break out those cocktail umbrellas you’ve been holding onto!
