Mixing instructions:
Corn syrup with food coloring tinges the classic piña colada with
a devilish sweetness.
Dip the rim of each glass into the red mixture, spinning slowly to
coat (below, right). Turn glasses upright; the red liquid will
drip slightly, then set. Pour drinks, and serve. Drinkers’ lips
may be stained pink—much like those of a sated vampire.
1. To coat rims, pour corn syrup into a
shallow bowl. Dip a toothpick into food coloring, and stir a very
small amount into corn syrup to combine. Hold a glass by the stem,
dip rim into the syrup mixture, and turn glass, coating entire
rim. Turn the glass upright, allowing mixture to drip down sides.
Dip the remaining glasses. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together remaining
ingredients, including 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring. Place 2 1/2
cups ice cubes in a blender, and add 1 cup drink mixture. Blend
until smooth; add more pineapple juice if mixture is too thick.
Repeat with remaining drink mixture and ice. Carefully pour into
prepared glasses; serve.
