Virgin Piña Colada
A delightful non-alcoholic rendition of the tropical classic, the Virgin Piña Colada is a creamy, sweet, and refreshing blend of pineapple juice, coconut cream, and ice, evoking sun-drenched beaches and island vibes.
Combine ingredients in blender
In a blender, combine 4 ounces (120 ml) pineapple juice, 2 ounces (60 ml) cream of coconut, and 1 ounce (30 ml) unsweetened coconut milk (if using for a lighter consistency). Add 1 cup (150g) of crushed ice or ice cubes.
💡 Tips:
- •For a thicker, more slushy drink, use more ice or frozen pineapple chunks. For a thinner drink, use less ice or more liquid.
Blend until smooth
Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no ice chunks remaining.
💡 Tips:
- •If the blender struggles, add a tiny splash more pineapple juice or coconut milk to help it blend. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
Pour and garnish
Pour the Virgin Piña Colada into a chilled hurricane glass or tall glass. Garnish with 1 pineapple wedge and optionally 1 maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Chilling the glass beforehand helps keep the drink frozen longer.
- 💡For an even richer flavor, use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice, or a combination of both.
- 💡Adjust the sweetness by adding a touch of simple syrup if your pineapple juice or cream of coconut isn't sweet enough for your liking.
- 💡A hint of lime juice (0.25 oz) can add a refreshing tartness to balance the sweetness.
- 💡Consider blending in a fresh banana for extra creaminess and a subtle flavor twist.
