This refreshing Virgin Strawberry Piña Colada is a delicious, tropical mocktail combining fresh strawberries, creamy coconut milk, and sweet pineapple juice. Perfect for a hot day or any time you want a healthy, fruity, non-alcoholic drink that’s easy to make and beautifully garnished.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • Fresh strawberries and pineapple wedges for garnish

Liquids

  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

Other

  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, remove the stems (hull), and slice them into halves or quarters for easier blending.
  2. Measure Ingredients: If using canned coconut milk, shake well before opening and measure 1 cup. Also, measure 1 cup of pineapple juice, whether freshly juiced or store-bought.
  3. Add Ice and Sweetener: Gather 1 cup of crushed ice. Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  4. Blend Mixture: In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, coconut milk, pineapple juice, crushed ice, and honey or agave syrup if using. Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut milk or pineapple juice if necessary.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the blended mixture and adjust sweetness or liquid levels as needed for your preferred taste and texture.
  6. Prepare Glasses: Optionally, rim the glasses by dipping edges in coconut milk and then in shredded coconut for extra flavor and presentation. Use tall glasses or coconut shells for serving.
  7. Serve: Pour the blended piña colada mixture into prepared glasses, filling them to the rim.
  8. Garnish: Decorate each glass with a fresh strawberry on the rim, a pineapple wedge, and optional mint leaves. Add colorful straws for a festive touch.
  9. Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away for best flavor and texture.
  10. Store Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving again.
  11. Optional Serving Style: Pair this mocktail with light snacks or set up a mocktail bar so guests can customize their own versions.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/agave syrup according to taste.
  • Crushed ice blends more smoothly than whole ice cubes.
  • For a thicker consistency, use chilled canned coconut milk.
  • Rimming glasses with shredded coconut adds texture and enhances presentation.
  • Consume immediately for optimal freshness; leftovers may separate and need stirring.
