What is a Piña Colada Mocktail?
The piña colada originated in Puerto Rico in the 1950's and is traditionally made with coconut, pineapple juice and rum. It's usually blended with ice until thick and creamy, then garnished with a pineapple wedge or cherry. Because of it's tropical flavors, I always associated this drink with beach holidays and sunshine.
My virgin piña colada keeps those signature pineapple and coconut flavors but leaves out the rum, making it a delicious non-alcoholic alternative. You still get that glorious creamy texture and tropical flavor, but without the headache. For my version, I simply omit the rum, but you could absolutely use a zero-proof rum if you wish...reviews coming soon!
Virgin Piña Colada Ingredients
Frozen pineapple chunks: I used 100% natural, no added sugar pineapple chunks. They were easy to find in the frozen section in my local supermarket. You could also slice fresh pineapple into chunks and freeze. I love using frozen pineapple because it results in a lovely, creamy mocktail!

Pineapple juice: any pineapple juice will work for this recipe. Choose from organic, freshly squeezed or bottled, it's completely up to you.
Coconut cream: I used an organic coconut cream for this mocktail recipe, but you do whatever suits you! Coconut cream has the ideal texture for frozen drinks, and always blends well. Tip: I do NOT recommend replacing with coconut milk, as milk just doesn't have the same level of creaminess. If you need an alternative, you can replace it with condensed milk, but this will cancel out the coconut flavor altogether.
Optional Ingredients
Lime juice: I didn't use lime in my recipe, but have tried it before and it adds a nice little kick. Feel free to add a tablespoon of lime juice if you like.
Coconut water: if you don't like the idea of using juice, replace it with coconut water for a better-for-you alternative, and with the leftovers, make my homemade electrolyte drinks!
How To Make It
As far as mocktails go, this non-alcoholic piña colada could not be simpler. Just place the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice and coconut cream into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge and/or cherries. Tip: wanting to scale it up? Just use the toggle below in the recipe card to specify how many servings you want to make, and the ingredients quantities will automatically adjust!
I hope you enjoy this piña colada mocktail as much as I loved creating it!

Hi thanks for the great recipe.
Do you know if this can be done
in a slushi maker??
HI Pip,
It's such a pleasure! To be honest, I'm not sure - I've never tried it in a slushie maker. My apologies I couldn't be more helpful here!
Cheers

Do you have a recommendation for a non-alcoholic rum?
Hey Cindy, great question! I love the Monday alcohol-free rum, and also the Lyre's White Cane Spirit. I hope that helps!
So good! Perfect for summer & I had everything on hand!
So happy to hear that Kristin - virgin pina coladas for the win!

This recipe sounds good. I'd like to try the unsweetened condensed milk in it but when I search for it online, even when I type "unsweetened condensed milk" the results show only sweetened condensed milk. Where did you find your unsweetened condensed milk?
Hi Mary, thanks for your question.
Hmmm that's interesting, I just got mine from the grocery store and was able to source it quite easily, sorry to hear you're having trouble! Sweetened will still work but might make it a little too sweet. If this happens, you can balance it out with a bit of lime juice. Another thing you could do is use coconut yoghurt instead! I hope this helps, here for any other questions.
My wife absolutely loved it!
cheers Jeff, I'm so happy to hear that!
My nephew was visiting and he has not had alcohol in 10 years. I was looking for a simple mocktail recipe and came across this one. He loved it! It couldn't have been easier to make and is a creamy, refreshing drink that has a smoothie texture. thank you for making things so simple. I'm going to recommend your book to him to have on hand at home.
Hi Brenda,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review - you've made my day! I'm so happy your nephew loved it and I hope he enjoys the book.

Hi,
Where do you buy your Coconut Cream?
I have looked on Amazon, Walmart, Trader Joes. Way too expensive.!
Hi Sheri,
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! I just buy mine from the supermarket and it's very reasonably priced. I hope you find one that's more affordable.
Cheers

Hi Daisy,
Your comment made me so happy - I am sorry for the delay getting back to you!
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and cheers to you all.

Very easy and quick recipe. It’s also not too sweet since I used unsweetened coconut cream (not sure what the sweetness level would be if you used cream of coconut). I did add half a peeled lime to it which really added to the flavor. The first batch wasn’t cold enough (pineapple juice was refrigerated but not the coconut cream) so I added six ice cubes for the second. Just that small amount made it more like a frozen Coke consistency and watered down the flavor a bit. Perhaps next time I’ll refrigerate the coconut cream and/or freeze the pineapple juice in an ice cube tray.
My family really enjoyed. Thanks!
Hi Trisha,
Fabulous feedback, thank you!
Great point about the coconut cream not being cold enough too, I'll update the recipe and recommend it's chilled prior to making this recipe.
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
