Best Mexican Martini

Simple Mexican Martini for that Friday night we all need and look forward to after a long work week.

For my birthday, my sister bought my the new Kenny Chesney Blue Chair Bay Spiced Coconut Rum. What better way to try it out than to make some Pina Coladas!?

What you'll need:
Spiced Coconut Rum (or just plain coconut rum, but I prefer the spiced, it brings out the pineapple and tropical aspects more. The easiest way to do both pineapple juice and pineapple chunks is to buy one medium sized can of pineapple chunks.

• 2 1/2 oz. Spiced Coconut Rum
• 3oz. Pineapple Juice
• 2 1/2oz. Cream of Coconut (I love Coco Real- best flavor- can be found at most Specs, HEBs, and Walmart)
• 1/2 Cup Pineapple Chunks
• 2 Cups Ice

Blend all ingredients until smooth in a blender. Serve in your favorite glasses (with a pineapple chunk for garnish). You can even top with whipped cream.
