Traditionally made with light rum, the ever refreshing Piña Colada instantly transports you to scintillating summers spent in paradise, but did you know you can totally skip the booze and make a non-alcoholic version that’s as much of a tropical treat as its boozy counterpart?
To make a great non-alc Piña Colada we found three different zero-proof rum options that work best. Caleño Light & Zesty is the best option if you want the best-tasting tropical Piña Colada mocktail. Infused with tropic notes such as pineapple, papaya, green cardamom, and more, Caleño Light & Zesty should make for a non-alcoholic Piña Colada that will have you sipping on paradise in no time. You can also use Lyre’s White Cane Spirit if you prefer a one-for-one replica of a classic Piña Colada made with white rum. If you’re seeking a slightly different flavor profile, try the Caleño Dark & Spicy. This non-alcoholic dark rum features notes of coconut, kola nut, black cardamom, and lime to craft more of an edgier non-alcoholic Piña Colada.

- 2 oz non-alcoholic Rum — for the ultimate tropical experience we recommend using Caleño Light & Zesty
