What is a Virgin Piña Colada?

The original Piña Colada is a tropical cocktail made with white rum, coconut milk, pineapple juice and ice. The Virgin version abandons alcohol and uses natural fruit juice and coconut milk instead, maintaining the smooth milky aroma and refreshing fruity flavor, making it light and delicious.

Main ingredient ratio

• Frozen pineapple chunks: about 1 to 1.5 cups (freezing makes for a smoother texture)

• Coconut milk (note: different from coconut milk): about 1 cup

• Fresh pineapple juice: about 3/4 cup

• Fresh lime juice: squeezed from about half a lime (optional)

• Ice cubes

• Decoration: pineapple slices, cherries or small parasols 🌺🍒

Preparation method

1. Place pineapple chunks, coconut milk, pineapple juice, and ice into a high-speed blender.

2. Blend until smooth and fine, with a rich milkshake-like texture.

3. Taste and adjust the acidity by adding extra sweetness or lemon juice according to your preference.

4. Pour into a pre-chilled glass and garnish with a pineapple slice, cherry, or umbrella.

Sharing from the editor's perspective

The Virgin Piña Colada is incredibly refreshing, with the smoothness of coconut milk complemented by the natural sweetness of pineapple. Its alcohol-free design is a perfect choice for summer gatherings and family activities. I find its smooth, milkshake-like texture truly amazing, and it's a fantastic way to cool down the summer heat.

Hong Kong's summers are scorching hot, so for those who don't want to drink but still want to feel good, this is the perfect drink. It's easy to make at home, and using frozen pineapple works especially well. Choose a higher-sugar coconut milk for a richer taste. Whenever I'm hanging out with friends, I always bring this non-alcoholic Piña Colada. Everyone says they're instantly headed to the beach after a few drinks!

Virgin Piña Colada is more than just a non-alcoholic drink; it's a dream drink that can transport you to a tropical island at any time. For a refreshing summer treat, try this "Pina Colada"—you'll love it! 🥥🍍🌞
