Coconut milk really transforms this into a thick, dreamy drink My niece once called it our vacation-in-a-glass and now everyone in my family requests it whenever we’re in the mood for something a little different
Keep It Fresh
Leftovers? Pop them in a covered pitcher in your fridge and they’ll stay tasty for two days Give things a swirl before you pour—the coconut can settle And don’t forget to dump in more ice right before serving for the best chill
Swaps and Options
No fresh juice? Bottled 100% orange and pineapple works fine, just look out for sneaky sugars on the label For something extra rich and thick, try using coconut cream instead of coconut milk—you’ll get a real treat
Fun Ways to Serve
Try sticking a slice of pineapple or orange on the edge of your glass—or pop in a mini umbrella for party vibes This mocktail is awesome with a fruit tray or a laid-back brunch menu
