Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Base
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
Coconut Pineapple Drink
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1–2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
Garnish
- Pineapple wedge
- Strawberry
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry base: Blend fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup of pineapple juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour this into a separate jug and set aside.
- Create the coconut pineapple drink: Rinse the blender to avoid mixing flavors, then add fresh pineapple chunks, ice cubes, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and optional brown sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and velvety.
- Assemble the drink: Pour the strawberry base into a tall glass until it fills about 25% of the glass. Gently top with the coconut and pineapple blend to fill the rest of the glass. Use a straw or skewer to lightly swirl the layers if the gradient effect isn’t distinct.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate the drink with a fresh pineapple wedge and a whole strawberry on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing tropical mocktail.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe pineapple and strawberries for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding or reducing brown sugar according to your taste.
- If you prefer a colder drink, add more ice cubes to the coconut pineapple blend.
- For a smoother texture, blend the mixtures longer and strain if desired.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
