Nothing really hits the spot like a cool drink on a hot day, right? I’m always looking for something fun that doesn’t require alcohol, and honestly, this frosty pineapple punch mocktail totally delivers.
You’ll get a burst of tropical flavor with barely any effort. It’s sweet, a little tangy, and so icy cold—pretty much my go-to when I want a cheerful drink that feels special.
I like how this tropical mocktail just brings a little vacation vibe right into my kitchen. With pineapple, a splash of citrus, and loads of ice, it’s light but still manages to be super satisfying.
You don’t need any fancy bartending tricks, either. It’s quick to make, and you’ll see what I mean once you try it.
The texture is smooth and frosty, almost like a slushie, which I love. The flavors are balanced enough that you can sip it slowly, whether you’re just chilling at home or passing it around at a casual get-together.
Frosty Pineapple Punch Mocktail Recipe
I’m a fan of this recipe because it’s got that blend of fresh pineapple juice, creamy coconut, and a bubbly finish. It’s ridiculously easy, and the combo of sweet fruit and fizz somehow works any time of year.
Equipment
- Large pitcher for mixing everything together
- Measuring cups and spoons—keeps the flavors in check
- Long spoon for stirring (or a spatula if that’s what you have)
- Blender if you want a slushy, icy texture
- Citrus juicer for squeezing fresh lime juice fast
- Strainer if you don’t want pulp in your glass
- Tall glasses for serving (makes it feel fancy)
- Ice cube tray for prepping ice ahead
- Small knife and cutting board for slicing pineapple and lime
- Cocktail picks if you’re into garnishes like cherries
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple juice (fresh is best, but bottled’s fine)
- 1 cup mango juice or some kind of tropical punch
- ½ cup coconut cream or cream of coconut
- 1 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 2 tbsp lime juice (fresh if you can swing it)
- 1 cup crushed ice or just regular ice cubes
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla ice cream if you want it creamy
- Garnish: pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, maybe some shredded coconut
- Optional (for adults): ½ cup rum or vodka
Instructions
- Pour pineapple juice, mango juice, and coconut cream into a big pitcher.
- Stir it up until the coconut cream is all mixed in—no lumps.
- Add ginger ale and sparkling water for that bubbly kick.
- Squeeze in the lime juice for a little zing.
- Fill your glasses with ice, crushed or cubed, whatever you’ve got.
- Pour the punch right over the ice.
- If you’re after a frosty texture, just blend the whole thing with ice before serving.
- Dress it up: pop a pineapple wedge, lime wedge, and cherry on each glass.
- Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top if you’re feeling extra.
- Serve it cold, straight away—don’t let it sit around.
Notes
If you want it sweeter, just add a splash of tropical punch. Not into sweet? Swap the ginger ale for plain sparkling water.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream turns it into a dessert drink, and almond milk keeps it dairy-free. When I’m making it for friends, I leave the booze out and let people add their own rum or vodka if they’re into that.
It’s best to serve this right away—otherwise, the fizz disappears. I usually chill my pitcher first so the punch stays cold and I don’t need to load up on ice.

Tasting Notes
When I take the first sip, the tropical flavor hits me right away. There’s this sweet, juicy pineapple taste—refreshing, honestly, but not too heavy.
Then come the citrus notes, giving the drink a little tang. That gentle brightness keeps everything lively and crisp, which I really like.
I start to notice a bit of warmth from the cinnamon too. It doesn’t take over, but just adds a soft spice that sort of lingers at the end.
There’s also a hint of nutmeg—it’s subtle, but it gives the punch this smooth, earthy layer. That nutmeg pairs surprisingly well with the pineapple and citrus.
Every sip seems to shift a bit. First, it’s sweet and fruity, then the spice sneaks in, and finally there’s this clean, zesty finish that hangs around on my tongue.
Flavor highlights I notice most:
- Sweet pineapple base
- Bright citrus edge
- Gentle cinnamon warmth
- Soft nutmeg depth
