Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) pineapple juice (freshly squeezed or good-quality store-bought)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut rum (e.g., Malibu)
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 cups (480 ml) crushed ice
- 1–2 tsp simple syrup or agave nectar (optional, for sweetness)
- Fresh pineapple wedges (for garnish)
- Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- Mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Measure out pineapple juice, coconut rum, and frozen pineapple chunks. Prepare simple syrup if using.
- Add pineapple juice, coconut rum, and frozen pineapple chunks to a high-speed blender. Pulse a few times to break down the frozen fruit.
- Add crushed ice and blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until thick and slushy. Add more ice if needed to reach desired texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding simple syrup or agave nectar one teaspoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition.
- Pour the slush into chilled serving glasses.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple wedges, toasted coconut flakes, and mint sprigs.
- Serve immediately for best texture and chill.
Notes
Use crushed ice and frozen pineapple chunks for best texture. Avoid overblending to prevent melting the ice. Chill glasses beforehand for extra frostiness. For a virgin version, replace coconut rum with coconut water or extra pineapple juice. Adding coconut cream after blending creates a creamier texture.
