Substitute

Making a Virgin Piña Colada at home is fun! I sometimes switch ingredients to change things up. Here are some substitutes I like to use:

For coconut milk:

• Almond milk 🥛: Lighter and nutty.
• Soy milk: Creamy and smooth.

For pineapple juice:

• Orange juice 🍊: Tangy twist.
• Mango juice 🥭: Sweet and exotic.

Sometimes I add a bit of fresh lime juice for extra zing. It gives the drink a fresh, tangy kick.

Looking to make it a little sweeter? Swap out sugar for honey or agave syrup. Both add sweetness with a different flavor.

If you want to thicken your drink, you can add frozen bananas 🍌 instead of ice. They make the mocktail smoother and creamier.

Tips & Tricks

Making a virgin piña colada is fun and easy! Here are some tips to make it even better.

• Freeze your pineapple chunks before blending. This gives the drink a nice, slushy texture. ❄️
• Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor. It really adds a creamy touch.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste. Sugar or honey can work well. 🌟

If you want to cut back on sugar, try using a sugar-free sweetener.

For a bit of pizzazz, I like to decorate with a pineapple slice and a cherry on top. 🎉 It makes the drink look and feel tropical.

If you’re short on time, blend everything in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
