Piña Colada (Puerto Rican Pineapple Coconut Cocktail)

Piña colada is a deliciously tropical cocktail made with creamy coconut, pineapple, and a splash of rum. This refreshing cocktail is Puerto Rico’s national drink, perfect for sipping in the summer sun. It comes together easily with just a few ingredients and is a crowd pleaser. If you love piña coladas, try out my limber de piña colada recipe!

Arroz con Calamares (Puerto Rican Rice with Squid)

Puerto Rican rice with squid is a flavorful rice dish made with aromatics and squid in ink. The squid ink turns the rice black. I add sofrito, garlic, onions, and peppers for added flavor and pair this meal with maduros and salad. It comes together in 25 minutes or less, making it a great option for busy weeknights!
