Pina Colada Mocktail
This Pina Colada Mocktail is SO REFRESHING! A creamy, tropical blend of fresh pineapple juice and coconut milk for a perfect alcohol-free treat.
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine-Mesh Sieve
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple juice For the best flavor, use freshly pressed pineapple juice
- 1 cup coconut milk Use canned coconut milk for richness and creaminess
- 0.5 cup crushed ice Helps chill and slightly dilute the drink for a smooth texture
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional; adds a touch of sweetness
- pineapple slices for garnish
- maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple juice ready, start by blending fresh pineapple chunks until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
- In a blender, add 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1/2 cup of crushed ice. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup if desired.
- Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until creamy and frothy with a slushy texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup if desired. Thin with pineapple juice or coconut milk if too thick.
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use freshly pressed pineapple juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a vegan version, use agave syrup instead of honey.
- Prepare the pineapple juice and coconut milk mixture up to 24 hours in advance but add crushed ice just before serving to maintain texture.
