- Frozen Coconut Pineapple Margarita. While I think this pineapple coconut drink is lovely served over ice, it could also be blended into a frosty frappé. However, to prevent too much dilution, don’t use regular ice — swap in frozen chunks of pineapple and coconut instead!
- Swap in Your Spirit. Try making this pineapple and coconut drink with jalapeño-spiced tequila for a spicy surprise, or swap in white or coconut rum for a more traditional piña colada vibe.
- Go Virgin. Want a midday refresher without the buzz? Simply omit the tequila or swap in your favorite non-alcoholic spirit.
- Use canned, full-fat coconut milk for the best results. Make sure to shake it well before using — you want to get the luscious coconut cream incorporated back into the mix!
- To get the most from your limes, give them a firm roll on the counter for 10-15 seconds. Next, wash and dry them, then use a microplane to grab only the brightest green parts of the zest (the white pith is bitter!). Now cut them in half and juice using a squeezer or a reamer.
- Shake it like you mean it. Shaking cocktails doesn’t just help to mix the ingredients and cool them down; it also helps to aerate the liquid with tiny shards of ice. Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for the frothiest results.
- Sip with expediency. Shaken libations like this pineapple coconut cocktail should be imbibed within about 20 minutes of being shaken so they don’t get too loose or diluted.
- Have leftovers? Freeze them into popsicle molds for an adult paleta!
