Tropical Pineapple Coconut Splash Mocktail Recipe

This pineapple coconut splash mocktail combines sweet pineapple juice with creamy coconut milk and a little lime juice. It’s a smooth alcohol-free drink you can mix in about five minutes and serve over ice.

Make one generous glass for yourself or divide it into two smaller servings. Taste before adding simple syrup—the pineapple juice may give you all the sweetness you need.

Ingredients

Makes: 1 generous serving or 2 smaller servings

Preparation time: About 5 minutes

• 1 cup chilled pineapple juice
• ½ cup unsweetened canned coconut milk, stirred well before measuring
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• Up to 1 tablespoon plain simple syrup, optional
• Ice cubes
• Pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries for garnish, optional

How to Make Your Pineapple Coconut Splash Mocktail

1. Stir the coconut milk. Coconut milk can separate in the can. Stir until the cream and liquid are evenly combined, then measure half a cup.
2. Mix the juices and coconut milk. Put the pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lime juice into a shaker or a large jar with a secure lid.
3. Shake well. Secure the lid and shake until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. You can also whisk them together in a small pitcher.
4. Taste before sweetening. Add a little simple syrup if needed, starting with one teaspoon. Mix again and taste before adding more.
5. Serve over ice. Fill one large glass or two smaller glasses with ice and pour in the drink. Leave enough room to stir.
6. Add your garnish. Finish with a pineapple wedge or maraschino cherry if you like, and serve immediately.

Adjust It to Your Taste

Prefer less sweetness? Leave out the simple syrup and let the pineapple juice provide the sweetness.

Want a sharper finish? Add extra lime juice a teaspoon at a time, tasting as you go.

Prefer a lighter drink? Use light unsweetened canned coconut milk, or replace some of the coconut milk with chilled coconut water. Coconut water will give you a thinner, less creamy drink.

Want a thicker, frozen version? Blend the mixture with a small handful of ice instead of pouring it over ice. Add the ice gradually until you reach the texture you like.

Keeping it simple? Skip the garnishes. The pineapple and coconut flavors are there whether you decorate the glass or not.

Making It Ahead

Mix the pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lime juice ahead of time and keep the mixture covered in the refrigerator.

Shake or whisk it again before serving because the ingredients may separate as they sit. Add ice and garnishes just before serving so the drink stays fresh and isn’t diluted by melting ice.
