Description
A simple recipe for a refreshing, non-alcoholic tropical drink featuring pineapple and coconut flavors served over ice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pineapple juice, chilled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/4 cup crushed ice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup (optional)
- Garnish: Pineapple wedge and toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Combine the pineapple juice, coconut milk, crushed ice, and lime juice in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
- Taste the mixture; add simple syrup if you prefer more sweetness. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish the rim with a pineapple wedge and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a fizzy version, skip the blending and stir the juices with ice, then top with 1/4 cup of club soda or sparkling water.
- Use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice for a thicker, colder texture.
- To toast coconut flakes, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat and stir constantly until golden brown.
