This Pina Colada Mocktail is thick, creamy, and bursting with tropical fruity flavor… no artificial mixes required. The balance of frozen pineapple, coconut cream, and pineapple juice blend into the perfect slushy consistency that’s never watery.

Add non alcoholic rum for an authentic taste, or keep it a simple mocktail everyone can enjoy.

Save the pineapple skins to make this nourishing Pineapple Skin Tea.

I stopped drinking a few years ago, and the thing I missed most wasn’t wine or cocktails… it was a good Pina Colada on a hot day. Store-bought mixes tasted like artificial garbage, and my homemade attempts (from other recipes) always came out watery and sad. It took me a dozen tries on my own, but I finally figured out how to make one that’s actually creamy and fruity.

This isn’t your typical mocktail that tastes like it’s missing something. The coconut cream, frozen pineapple, and pineapple juice create that thick, creamy consistency you actually want in a Piña Colada. Plus, you can spike it with non alcoholic rum for extra authenticity, or keep it simple. Either way, it’s good enough that everyone will want the recipe.

If you have extra pineapple, try my Pineapple Upside Down Cobbler or a Pina Colada Cheesecake Danish.

Pina Colada Mocktail Ingredients

Here’s everything you will need to make this recipe and a few important notes, so keep reading!

Pineapple: I recommend using fresh pineapple, cut in 1-inch chunks, and frozen overnight. I like to save a couple wedges to use as a garnish. For the pineapple, you can also use canned pineapple, or frozen pineapple. Just know the sweetness level will vary.
Coconut Cream: Coco Re’al has the best consistency and it’s got a little sugar in it for the perfect balance of flavor.
100% Pineapple Juice: I use canned juice, but bottled juice works as well. Just make sure it’s 100% juice.
Ice Cubes
OPTIONAL Non Alcoholic White Rum: Please refer to the next section for more information.

The Best Non Alcoholic White Rum Substitutes

A classic Pina Colada contains white rum and there are a few options to choose from. I recommend a splash or two of Lyre’s White Cane Spirit, but other options include Arkay non alcoholic white rum, and Marie Laveau non alcoholic spiced spirit. Choosing any of these will make this recipe taste even closer to a Pina Colada with alcohol.

Ingredients needed are pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and ice.

How To Make A Pina Colada Mocktail

Here’s a quick summary of the steps, so you can see how easy it is to make. You’ll also need a blender or food processor, glassware of your choice, and straws. You’ve got to grab some boba straws for frozen drinks, they’re large and it makes it so much easier to drink!

1. Blend and Troubleshoot. Blend the frozen pineapple, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and ice until smooth. Taste test and troubleshoot your pina colada mocktail so it’s just how you like it (more information in the next section).

2. Pour and Garnish. Drizzle more coconut cream in your glasses and pour in the Pina Colada Mocktail. Garnish with fresh pineapple wedges and serve with a straw.

Troubleshooting Information

Making frozen drinks with fresh pineapple is not an exact science and do require troubleshooting. Fresh pineapples all differ in texture, sweetness, and level of ripeness, so use the information below to make yours perfect!

Too thick? Add a tablespoon of pineapple juice until desired consistency.
Too thin? Add a 1/4 cup of frozen pineapple chunks until desired consistency.

Garnish these Pina Colada Mocktails with pineapple leaves and pineapple wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I blend up the Pina Colada Mocktail ahead of time?

I recommend blending these up as you are serving them. This mocktail is a slushy consistency and doesn’t store well in the refrigerator or freezer. Serving it as you drink it, and immediately, is best.

I want this to have alcohol in it, what should I add?

A classic Pina Colada has rum (white or dark) in it. You can also add coconut rum too.
