I am shooting for virgin pina coladas. Is it okay to use rum extract instead of rum?

You can. Rum extract is typically used for baking but there's no reason you can't use it instead of rum in the drinks. Most people just skip the rum altogether when they've making virgin coladas but do whatever works best for you. However start off with a very tiny amount and gradually add more to taste.

Yes, it is perfectly fine to use rum extract, if you want the rum flavor to be there. Virgin pina coladas are great without also, experiment with using it and not using it and see which you like better!

Yes, just don't use as much or the flavour will be very over powering. Start with a teaspoon or so and work you way up to the flavour of your liking. You may also have to compensate with juice or water for the missing liquid if you find them too thick. But, a nice thick pina colada could be yummy!

I don't see how else you'd do it.
