Servings: large mocktail
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (canned) *see notes
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup pineapple juice (unsweetened) *or more coconut milk
- 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup *optional
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.
Instructions
- If using canned unsweetened pineapple, drain and thoroughly rinse the pineapple chunks. If you want to cut your own fresh pineapple, cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Give the coconut milk a good shake. Then put it in the fridge for about 15 minutes (no longer than that or the coconut water and cream will separate).
- Then add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust texture and sweetness. For a thinner mocktail, gradually add more pineapple juice. For a sweeter drink, add more maple syrup.
- Serve over some ice cubes and garnish with a pineapple wedge, cocktail umbrella or other (see garnish ideas above).

Notes
- Ripe, Fresh Pineapple: In order to save time, I used unsweetened canned pineapple than contained 100% pineapple but you can also cut a fresh pineapple yourself. The riper the pineapple, the sweeter the drink will be.
- Good Blender: To achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy texture, we highly recommend using a high-speed blender.
- Chilled Drink: Use chilled pineapple juice and also put your coconut milk the fridge 15 minutes before preparing the mocktail. This will result in a cold, refreshing drink.
- Refined-Sugar-Free: To keep this recipe refined sugar-free you could use coconut water instead of pineapple juice and skip the maple syrup. That way it's naturally sweetened with fruits only.
- Classic Pina Colada: This virgin pina colada can easily be turned into a traditional pina colada by adding some white rum (about 1 ½ ounces (45ml) per drink).
