The Virgin Colada brings Caribbean vibes into the glass - completely without alcohol. Creamy cream of coconut meets fruity pineapple juice to create a mocktail that tastes of beach and sunshine. The perfect drink for children, pregnant women and anyone who loves the Pina Colada but wants to stay sober.

Instructions

  1. Put pineapple juice, cream of coconut and optional cream into the blender.
  2. Add crushed ice.
  3. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour into a hurricane glass.
  5. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cocktail cherry.

Garnish: A pineapple wedge and a cocktail cherry

Pro tip: Use well-chilled pineapple juice and blend the drink with plenty of crushed ice - that gives the typically thick, creamy consistency of a real colada.

Frequently asked questions

What is cream of coconut?

Cream of coconut is a sweetened, creamy coconut preparation - not to be confused with unsweetened coconut milk. It gives the colada its typical sweetness and creaminess.

Can I make the Virgin Colada without cream?

Yes, the cream is optional. Pineapple juice and cream of coconut alone already make a full-bodied, creamy mocktail.

How does the Virgin Colada get especially creamy?

Plenty of crushed ice in the blender and well-chilled ingredients are the key. That creates the thick, frozen-style consistency.
