Hi, foodie fellas. You might have seen some of the summer cooler recipes that I have been posting until now. Today I am adding another gem to the crown. This recipe is for Virgin Pina Colada. It’s a mocktail, hence, non-alcoholic, and can be enjoyed by kids and elders alike.

What makes me like the homemade Virgin Pina Colada is its naturalness and wholesomeness. Fruits are always good for our health and this drink is made from fresh pineapple and homemade coconut milk. I try my best not to use canned fruits and tetra packs of processed fruit juices. They are laced with preservatives and high in sugar content. Consuming them will harm your health in the long run.

Some recipes suggest adding store-bought pineapple juice in addition to the fresh pineapple so that the drink will be sweet enough. Instead, I doubled up the quantity of fresh pineapple and added some sugar. Let’s get started with the recipe of Virgin Pina Colada. This recipe yields 4 servings.
