A light and creamy tropical drink blending pineapple juice and coconut milk with a touch of honey and lime, perfect for summer refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice, freshly squeezed preferred
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (120 ml) sparkling water for a fizzy twist
  • Optional garnish: pineapple wedge or mint sprig
  • Optional: toasted coconut flakes for rimming glass

Instructions

  1. Squeeze fresh lime juice and measure pineapple juice. Chill pineapple juice if canned.
  2. In a blender, combine pineapple juice, coconut milk, honey (start with 1 tablespoon), lime juice, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Add ice cubes and blend on high for 20-30 seconds until creamy and cold. Adjust consistency with water or more pineapple juice if needed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or tang by adding more honey or lime juice as desired.
  5. For a fizzy version, pour mixture halfway into glasses and top with sparkling water. Stir gently.
  6. Serve immediately garnished with pineapple wedge or mint sprig. Optionally rim glass with toasted coconut flakes.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for best creamy texture. Pulse ice cubes to avoid watery drink. Fresh lime juice balances sweetness. Blend ice last to prevent dilution. Can be made ahead without ice and refrigerated up to 24 hours. Stir or re-blend if separation occurs. Optional to spike with rum or coconut vodka.
