There is something about the combination of pineapple and coconut that cannot be beaten. It screams tropical summer holidays to me. When I sip on this drink I can almost feel the sand between my toes and the sunshine on my skin. My watermelon mocktails are also perfect for summer!

What is a Piña colada mocktail?

The classic version is a combination of cream of coconut and coconut milk, pineapple juice and rum. The recipe was first made in Puerto Rico in 1952. It's often associated with tropical beach holidays and sunshine. Garnished with a pineapple wedge or cherries, this sweet drink has summer written all over it.

For the mocktails, I omitted the rum, and instead used frozen pineapple chunks. The frozen pineapple makes this drink perfect for a hot summers day. There are some fabulous non-alcoholic rums you can use if you want to make the drink a little more adult.

Virgin Piña colada ingredients

Frozen pineapple chunks: I used 100% natural, no added sugar pineapple chunks. They were easy to find in the frozen section in my local supermarket. You could also slice fresh pineapple into chunks and freeze.

Pineapple juice: any pineapple juice will work for this recipe. Choose from organic, freshly squeezed or bottled, it's completely up to you.

Coconut cream: I used an organic coconut cream for this mocktail recipe. Coconut cream is a creamy and thick and perfect for this frozen drink. I don't recommend replacing with coconut milk, as milk just doesn't have the same level of creaminess. If preferred, you can replace it with condensed milk.

Optional ingredients

Lime juice: I didn't use lime in my recipe, but have tried it before and it adds a nice little kick. Feel free to add a tablespoon of lime juice if you like.

Condensed milk: not a fan of coconut cream? Condensed milk is a lovely alternative. I find the pineapple brings enough sweetness to this mocktail, so unsweetened condensed milk would be my choice. If you are a sweet tooth - give the sweetened condenses milk a try.

Coconut water: if you don't like the idea of using juice, replace it with coconut water for a healthier alternative.

Ice-cream: for a special treat, try these non alcoholic co*cktails with some ice cream on top, or throw some in the blender with the rest of the ingredients.

Equipment you'll need

You won't need much to create this delicious mocktail at home!

Blender: a good blender is essential to blend the pineapple chunks well. No one likes chunks of pineapple in their drink!

Piña colada glassware: it's not absolutely essential, but it IS fun to serve these drinks in co*cktail type glasses if you have them. Although lets face it - they tastes delicious in any glass!

How to make them

This method could not be easier!

Place pineapple chunks, pineapple juice and coconut cream into a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge and/or cherries.

I hope you enjoy this Piña colada mocktail as much as I loved creating it!!
