Instructions
Prepare Frozen Pineapple
If you do not have pre-frozen pineapple chunks, cut fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces and freeze them for at least 2 hours before making the drink. Frozen pineapple gives the mocktail a thick frosty texture without needing as much ice.
Combine in Blender
Add the frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and honey into a high-powered blender. Add the ice cubes last so they blend evenly throughout the mixture. Make sure the blender lid is secured tightly before blending.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed. The final texture should resemble a thick and pourable smoothie.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. If the drink is too thick add a splash more pineapple juice and blend briefly. If it is too thin add a few more frozen pineapple pieces and blend again until perfect.
Pour and Garnish
Pour the mocktail into two chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh pineapple slice on the rim and a maraschino cherry on top. Add a cocktail umbrella and a straw for the full tropical experience. Serve immediately before it melts.
