One thing about me- I’m crazy for all things coconut. I love coconut flavored treats, the smell of coconut & especially the smell of sunscreen when it has that coconut scent. I can’t get enough. It takes me home & reminds me of the days of spending my summers with my aunt & cousins either playing by the pool or loading the surfboards in the back of the VW & enjoying the beaches of So Cal. Cherished memories that all come flooding back with every hint of coconut. So it’s no surprise that I use it in a lot of recipes- Piña Colada is no exception. Only this time I had to add even more coconut to amp it up a bit. 🙂
Coco Piña Colada
Coco Piña Colada Mocktail/Cocktail
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple Juice
- 1 cup chunk pineapple + more for topping
- 6 oz cream of coconut
- splash lime juice
- 1/3 cup sweetened coconut + more for topping
- 1-1/2 cup ice
- 1 oz clear rum if desired
- *I like my drinks the kid friendly way- so we made this without the rum & then those that like it added it after we poured everyone else's)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to blender & pulse until ice & pineapple chunks are the desired consistency that you are after- should be thin enough to go smoothly through a straw.
- Pour into serving glasses & top with additional coconut & pineapple.
This was really yummy & really took me back home. I could drink these all day- everyday.
With 4th of July right around the corner… don’t miss these other summer drinks too.
