The Puerto Rican Chi-Chi Cocktail

Think of the Chi-Chi Cocktail as the cousin of the infamous Puerto Rican Piña Colada. This cocktail recipe is a tropical mash of fresh pineapple, coconut cream, lime, and ice, just like the Piña Colada. But this drink will use vodka instead of rum and the garnish is a cherry as opposed to the pineapple garnish of the Piña Colada.

Homemade Pineapple Cup

Usually, Chi-Chi’s are served in a glass, but you can use the pineapple to make adorable Pineapple Cups to serve them in. The recipe calls for chopped pineapple so why not use it all. It makes for a cool presentation and adds aesthetics to your drink.

You will need to cut the top of your pineapple off and use a pineapple coring tool and a know to remove the pineapple meat from the intended pineapple cup. Once the meat is removed use a knife to cut off the core. Rince and you have a Homemade Pineapple Cup for your Chi-Chi Cocktail.
