Description
A refreshing, creamy, and non-alcoholic tropical mocktail made with fresh pineapple, orange juice, and full-fat coconut milk. Perfect for summer gatherings, this budget-friendly recipe serves 10 and comes together in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium fresh pineapples (peeled and cut into chunks)
- 4 medium large oranges (yielding approx. 2 cups fresh-squeezed juice)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 medium lime (juiced)
- 2–4 tbsp simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Large ice cubes
- Fresh mint or pineapple wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the fruit by peeling and chunking the pineapples. Cut oranges in half if juicing by hand.
- Juice the oranges until you have about two cups of fresh juice. Strain out large pulp if a smoother texture is preferred.
- In a large pitcher or blender, combine the pineapple chunks, orange juice, and coconut milk. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth, or whisk vigorously until fully incorporated.
- Add the lime juice to the mixture. Start with 1 tablespoon and taste, adding more if needed to balance the sweetness.
- Taste the mixture and add simple syrup one tablespoon at a time if additional sweetness is desired.
- Chill the mocktail in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve over large ice cubes in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh mint or pineapple wedges.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture. If the drink separates in the fridge, stir well before serving. For a sparkling version, top each glass with club soda. If making ahead, freeze the juice mixture without the coconut milk and add the coconut milk just before serving to prevent separation.
