How to Store Leftover Virgin Piña Colada

Virgin Piña Colada is best served immediately because the ice melts and the drink can separate.

If necessary, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Blend again with a small amount of ice before serving.

Can Virgin Piña Colada Be Frozen?

Yes. Pour the prepared drink into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 1 month.

Thaw slightly, then blend again until smooth and creamy. You can also freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and blend the cubes for a quick frozen drink.
