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.

• 2 oz coconut cream
• 1 handful fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

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.

• For a frozen mocktail bar, offer toppings like shredded coconut or maraschino cherries.
