Ocean Love Colada Mocktail: Your Tropical Escape in a Glass!
Hey loves! This vibrant mocktail is pure vacation energy—creamy coconut-pineapple goodness swirled with dreamy ocean-blue hues, topped with fluffy whipped cream and fresh fruit. Trust me, it’s giving major Instagram-worthy vibes without the hangover!
Ingredients
For the Base
- 2 oz coconut water or coconut milk (go creamy, babe!)
- 2 oz fresh pineapple juice (the real deal, not that bottled stuff)
- 1 oz coconut cream (unsweetened, keep it authentic)
- ½ cup crushed ice
For That Gorgeous Swirl
- 1 oz blue food coloring mixed with lemon juice (or butterfly pea tea for a natural glow-up)
- 1 tbsp blueberry puree (blitz fresh or frozen berries—easy peasy)
To Garnish & Slay
- Whipped cream (dairy or coconut-based—your choice, queen!)
- 1 pineapple wedge (fresh is chef’s kiss)
- 5-6 blueberries (frozen ones add a cute frosty touch)
Instructions
- Chill everything first—trust me, it makes all the difference. Prep your blue mixtures if using alternatives.
- Blitz coconut water, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and ice in a blender until smooth and slushy. Aim for that perfect creamy texture!
- Grab a tall, clear glass (chilled, obvi) and pour in the blended mix, leaving room at the top for magic.
- Drizzle the blue mix and blueberry puree down the inside of the glass. Gently swirl with a straw—don’t overmix, let those ocean waves shine!
- Pile on whipped cream in a fancy swirl, then pop on that pineapple wedge and scatter blueberries like confetti. Serve immediately and watch jaws drop!
Notes
Pro tip: Freeze pineapple chunks to use instead of ice—less dilution, more flavor! For a natural blue hue, butterfly pea tea shifts to purple when it hits acidity—total magic. ✨
