Ingredients

Base

• 2 cups (300 g) frozen pineapple chunks
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) full-fat coconut milk or 1/2 cup coconut cream + 1/4 cup water
• 1–2 tbsp (15–30 ml) honey or agave (optional, to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)

To Finish

• 1–1½ cups (240–360 ml) ice-cold coconut soda or lemon-lime soda
• Ice cubes (as needed)
• Pineapple wedges & fresh mint, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend: Add frozen pineapple, coconut milk/cream, sweetener (if using), vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until thick and silky.
2. Fill glasses: Add a few ice cubes to tall glasses. Pour the pineapple-coconut base to about 2/3 full.
3. Float: Slowly top with ice-cold soda to create a fizzy, creamy float. Stir gently once.
4. Garnish & serve: Add a pineapple wedge and mint. Serve immediately with straws.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Extra thick: Freeze coconut milk in cubes and blend for a shake-like texture.
• No added sugar: Skip sweetener; use unsweetened soda water and a very ripe pineapple.
• Tropical twist: Blend in 1–2 tbsp shredded coconut or a splash of mango juice.
• Dairy vibe: For a “creamsicle” feel, add 2 tbsp cold evaporated milk (optional).
• Adults only: Spike with 1 oz coconut rum per glass (responsibly).

Make-Ahead & Storage

• Blend the base up to 8 hours ahead; refrigerate tightly covered.
• Top with soda only at serving for maximum fizz.
• Leftovers lose carbonation; re-blend with a few ice cubes if needed.

Serving & Pairings

• Great with grilled shrimp, chicken skewers, or salty snacks.
• Serve in clear highball glasses for the best layered look.

Troubleshooting

• Too thick? Thin with a splash of soda or water.
• Too sweet? Add more soda water or a squeeze of lime.
• Not cold enough? Chill glasses and ingredients; add a few crushed-ice cubes.

FAQ

Can I use fresh pineapple?
Yes—cube and freeze it first for thickness and chill.

Which coconut product is best?
Full-fat coconut milk balances creaminess and drinkability; coconut cream makes it richer.

Can I skip soda?
Use sparkling water + extra vanilla or lime for brightness.
