Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Fresh pineapple wedges for garnish
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Virgin Pina Colada Mocktail: 1 cup of coconut cream, 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1 cup of crushed ice, fresh pineapple wedges for garnish, and maraschino cherries for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the 1 cup of coconut cream and 1 cup of pineapple juice. This combination will create the creamy and fruity base of your mocktail.
- Add the 1 cup of crushed ice to the blender. This will help achieve a refreshing, slushy texture for your drink.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps, and the ice is well incorporated. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, taste the mixture. If you desire a sweeter flavor, you can add a little more pineapple juice or a splash of simple syrup, then blend again briefly to combine.
- Prepare your serving glasses by chilling them in the freezer for a few minutes if desired. This step is optional but will keep your mocktail extra refreshing.
- Carefully pour the blended Virgin Pina Colada mixture into the chilled glasses, filling each glass to the top.
- Garnish each drink with a fresh pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass. This adds a beautiful tropical touch.
- Top off each mocktail with a maraschino cherry for an added pop of color and sweetness.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a cocktail stirrer, and enjoy your delicious Virgin Pina Colada Mocktail!
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an even colder and more refreshing mocktail, consider chilling your coconut cream and pineapple juice in the refrigerator before blending.
- Blend to Perfection: Make sure to blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth. This will ensure that the ice is well incorporated, giving you that perfect slushy texture.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, feel free to adjust the amount of pineapple juice or add a touch of simple syrup. Always blend again briefly after making adjustments.
- Garnish Creatively: Get creative with your garnishes! In addition to pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries, you can add a sprinkle of toasted coconut or a slice of lime for extra flair.
- Serve Immediately: This mocktail is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it right after making to maintain its icy texture and vibrant flavors.
