Skinny Piña Colada

In light of our recent “skinny” cocktail recipe postings, we were asked by Facebook friend Sherri if we could include a recipe for a Skinny Piña Colada. Certainly, we thought, we could find a way to take a bite out of the calories of this high calorie coconut creme and juice based cocktail whose taste takes us right to the islands?

Well, in this recipe, we did decrease the calorie level from 278.5 for one serving of our regular Piña Colada Recipe to 142 calories per serving in the following Skinny Piña Colada! For just a little added kick – add a .5 oz dark rum floater for an additional 32 calories :)

Lava Flow

Aloha! We enjoyed a Lava Flow on vacation in Hawaii a while back and loved the banana, coconut, strawberry (and rum of course!) taste. Because we add ice to the banana, coconut and pineapple mix, it makes a nice, light and frozen concoction. Close your eyes while you sip and you might even hear the palm trees rustling in the gentle Hawaiian breeze…

The Equator Shooter

I haven’t been able to concentrate very well lately – my mind keeps wandering to an island in the sun. In fact, in just a few days my toes will be happily wiggling in some warm sand. As we head in the direction of the equator we will celebrate the beginning of a tropical holiday with one (or possible two!) of these yummy concoctions. Maybe you would like one too?

The Equator Shooter

1/2 oz peach schnapps
1/2 oz white rum
Grenadine syrup

Layer ingredients in the exact order. Grenadine should sit on top for a little bit before sliding down the inside of the shot glass.

Chocolate Rum Balls

Rum Balls are a pretty popular holiday treat. Thanks to our niece, Christie, for sharing her recipe for Chocolate Rum Balls – yummmm… To make Coconut Chocolate Rum Balls, substitute Coconut Rum for the dark rum.

Chocolate Rum Balls

½ cup (1 stick) of butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
Powdered sugar

Combine butter, granulated sugar and egg yolk in large bowl; beat until light and fluffy.  Add rum and vanilla; mix well.  Add flour and cocoa; stir until well blended.  Stir in nuts.  Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350ºF.  Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.  Bake 15-20 minutes or until firm.  Transfer to wire racks; cool 5 minutes.  Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar.  Cool completely on wire racks.
