July 10 is coming up, and do you know what it means? It’s National Piña Colada Day. But more than any other day to commemorate the emblematic drink —whose original recipe was created in Puerto Rico—, in honor of this day, Goya Puerto Rico invites you to get together with your loved ones and share memorable moments by creating your own Piña Colada recipe at home. .
Goya Puerto Rico shares the recipe and the ingredients you need, so that everyone can enjoy the refreshing tropical drink that is characterized by mixing pineapple juice with Goya Coconut Cream.
Goya Coconut Cream is one of the essential ingredients and is one of the emblematic products of the production of Goya Santo Domingo. Its elaboration begins with the meticulous selection of the raw material. It then goes through a sophisticated processing center and it is there that Goya’s secret formula is applied.
It is important to note that Goya Coconut Cream is a vegan product that does not contain dairy, soy, gluten-free, cholesterol-free, vegan, and low in sodium that contribute to maintaining a healthy body.
The quality of Goya products in each can guarantee not only the flavor, but the consistency you need to create the perfect balance between pineapple juice and coconut cream. The idea is to create a balanced mix that manages to harmonize the rum (optional) with the sweetness of the coconut and the acidity of the pineapple.
Enjoying a Piña Colada with your loved ones goes beyond savoring a mixture of pineapple juice and coconut cream. This cocktail symbolizes memories, the tropics, beaches, landscapes and joy, but above all, it symbolizes sharing with the family.
