If you like piña coladas but not getting caught in the rain, this is for you. Sherry is a lighter, more delicate tasting stand-in for the usual rum of the classic piña colada. Stick with fino or manzanilla sherry so as not to overwhelm the pineapple. Nothing can take the place of a blue can of cream of coconut, so don’t bother trying and definitely don’t mix it up with coconut cream, a different, unsweetened product.
