Tropical Pineapple Coconut Water Mocktail
Sweet pineapple meets hydrating coconut water and fresh mint in these easy tropical mocktails. No alcohol needed. Naturally sweetened and ready in minutes. Perfect for parties, poolside, or just because.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 cups coconut water
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup ice cubes plus more for serving
- Pineapple wedges for garnish
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the pineapple: Put the pineapple in your blender. Blend until it's totally smooth and creamy.
- Strain it: Pour blended pineapple through a strainer into a pitcher. This removes any chunky bits completely.
- Add the liquids: Pour in coconut water, lime juice, and honey now.
- Mix well: Stir everything together until the honey dissolves. Make sure it's all mixed up really good.
- Muddle mint: Put 8-10 mint leaves in your shaker. Gently press them to release the mint smell.
- Shake with ice: Add ice to the shaker with your mix. Shake it hard for 15 seconds.
- Pour into glasses: Fill four glasses with ice. Strain the mixture over the ice so it's nice and smooth.
- Add garnish: Top each glass with a pineapple wedge and mint sprig. Makes them look really pretty.
Notes
- Ripe pineapple is key here. It's naturally sweeter, so you won't need as much honey at all.
- Different coconut water brands taste different. Taste yours first and adjust the honey if you need to.
- Want it frozen? Blend ice with the pineapple for a slushy drink. Kids go crazy for this version.
- Leftover mix keeps in the fridge for three days in a sealed container. Just shake before pouring.
- Making drinks for a crowd? Double or triple this. Make the base early and add ice later.
