Per 100g
Source: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, March 2026.
A canned pina colada (222g) packs 526 calories, making it one of the most calorie-dense cocktails you can drink. Per 100g, a pina colada contains 237 calories, 27.6g of carbs, 7.6g of fat (mostly saturated fat from coconut cream at 6.6g), and just 0.6g of protein. The drink is a blend of rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. The fat comes from the coconut cream component, not from alcohol. Alcohol itself contributes about 7 calories per gram, adding significantly to the overall calorie count. If you are tracking macros, a single can of pre-mixed pina colada can represent a quarter or more of a typical daily calorie budget. Folate at 6mcg per 100g is the most notable micronutrient, though the amounts are modest. This is a drink best reserved for rare occasions if fat loss is the goal.

Health Benefits of Pina Coladas
From a pure nutrition standpoint, a pina colada offers very little in terms of beneficial nutrients. However, understanding what is in it helps you make informed decisions about when and how often to include it.
The coconut cream component provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of saturated fat that some research suggests may be metabolized differently than long-chain fats. The practical effect at the amounts in a cocktail is minimal, but it is worth noting as the source of the fat content.
Pineapple juice contributes a small amount of vitamin C (1.5mg per 100g) and folate (6mcg per 100g), plus some potassium (83mg per 100g). These micronutrients support immune function, cell division, and electrolyte balance respectively, though the amounts are too low to have a meaningful impact.
For active people who drink socially, being aware of the calorie density of cocktails like this one is important. A single can contains more calories than most post-workout meals. Choosing lower-calorie alternatives like a vodka soda or light beer on most occasions, and saving drinks like this for special events, is a practical approach to maintaining body composition while still having a social life.
Dietary Considerations
A pina colada is not suitable for weight loss, keto, or low-carb diets. At 237 calories per 100g and 27.6g of carbs, a single can delivers over 500 calories with virtually no protein or micronutrient value. It is gluten-free and vegan in most formulations. The high saturated fat from coconut cream (6.6g per 100g) and the caloric contribution of alcohol make this a drink to consume rarely when dieting. Those with alcohol sensitivity, liver concerns, or on certain medications should avoid all alcoholic drinks. Pre-mixed canned versions often contain additional sweeteners, so the actual sugar content may be higher than the USDA value suggests.
