Can't get to the tropics for a vacation in Paradise? Bring Paradise home by putting on some island music and making pina coladas at home!

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of crushed ice, and blend for another 15 seconds.

For a yummy vacation, add chunks of frozen banana instead of crushed ice!
