Preparation
- To make the syrup, pour coconut cream, pineapple juice, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and bitters into a blender with 1/2 cup (4 ounces) water. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer syrup to a separate container. You will have far more than you need, enough for about 4 coladas.
- To make the colada, pour 4 ounces ( 1/2 cup) colada syrup and the rum into a blender with about 1 1/2 cups ice. Purée until colada is thick but can still be poured, a minute or more. Pour into an appropriate vessel, such as a ceramic coconut shell, and sprinkle surface with a dash or two of bitters. Serve with a straw snipped to rise 2 to 3 inches above lip of vessel.
