Tasting Notes

The Piña Colada Mocktail is a creamy, tropical escape in a glass—rich with coconut, bright with pineapple, and perfectly smooth. Coconut cream provides a lush, velvety base, while pineapple juice and fresh chunks deliver vibrant, juicy sweetness with a touch of tartness. Blended until frosty, this mocktail is indulgent yet refreshing, evoking beachy vibes with every sip. A pineapple wedge garnish adds the final touch, making this alcohol-free version of the classic a tropical delight for all ages.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a blender to achieve the creamy, frozen texture that defines this mocktail. A jigger or measuring cup helps ensure proper proportions. Serve in a hurricane glass, tulip glass, or any tall curved glass to show off its tropical aesthetic. A paring knife helps slice the pineapple wedge neatly, and a cocktail pick or umbrella can elevate the beachy presentation.

Ingredients

• 6 oz pineapple juice
• 2 oz coconut cream
• 1 handful fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
• Ice if using fresh pineapple
• Pineapple wedge for garnish

Instructions

• Blend the Drink: Add coconut cream, pineapple juice, and pineapple chunks to a blender. If using fresh pineapple, add a handful of ice to thicken and chill.
• Blend Until Smooth: Process until creamy and frosty.
• Serve: Pour into a chilled glass.

Pro Tips

• For extra froth and thickness, freeze the pineapple chunks ahead of time.
• Use cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez) for a sweeter, more indulgent result if desired.
• Want to boost flavor? Add a dash of vanilla extract or a squeeze of lime juice for extra depth.
• For a frozen mocktail bar, offer toppings like shredded coconut or maraschino cherries.

When to Serve

Perfect for summer parties, pool days, tiki nights, or anytime you want a beachy escape without alcohol. It’s also a hit with kids and guests who prefer a sweet, fruity refresher. Serve it as a non-alcoholic signature at tropical-themed events or relaxing spa days.

Recommended Brands to Use

• Pineapple: Fresh, ripe pineapple delivers the best natural flavor; frozen chunks work well too for texture and chill.
