The Piña Verde is a tropical cocktail created in 2010 by Erick Castro at Polite Provisions in San Diego. Inspired by the classic Piña Colada, it blends pineapple, creamy coconut, and bright citrus while swapping rum for herbal Green Chartreuse, giving the drink a fresh, garden-like twist on the traditional tropical favorite.
Add Green Chartreuse, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, lime juice, and cubed ice to a blender.
Blend for 10-15 seconds, or until desired texture.
Pour into a lowball or tiki glass.
Garnish with mint sprig.
