How is the Pina Colada served after blending?

The Pina Colada, a classic tropical cocktail, is typically served in a 12 oz glass. This serving size is ideal for accommodating the blended mixture of rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, providing enough volume for the creamy beverage while also allowing space for any garnishes, such as a pineapple slice or a cherry. The choice of a standard 12 oz glass aligns with the common presentation of similar cocktails, ensuring that it has an appealing visual impact as well as a satisfying serving amount for the drinker.

Choosing other glass types, like highball, martini, or rocks glasses, would not complement the drink's presentation or volume as well as a dedicated 12 oz glass does. A highball glass might be too tall and narrow, a martini glass would be inappropriate due to its shape and size, and a rocks glass could be too small for the Pina Colada's fluffy, blended nature.
