What is a pina colada mocktail made of?

A pina colada mocktail is made from coconut cream, pineapple juice, and frozen pineapple chunks blended until smooth. Unlike its alcoholic counterpart, it contains no rum, making it perfect for everyone to enjoy! The coconut cream provides that signature richness, while the pineapple gives it the sweet tropical flavor that makes this drink so beloved.

How to make a non-alcoholic pina colada without a blender?

While a blender gives the best results, you can still make a simplified version without one! Combine chilled pineapple juice and coconut cream in a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Shake vigorously until well-combined and frothy, then strain into a glass over more crushed ice. It won't be quite as smooth and creamy as the blended version, but it'll still deliver those wonderful tropical flavors!

What does "virgin" mean in pina colada?

When you see "virgin" before any cocktail name (like virgin pina colada), it simply means that it's the non-alcoholic version of the drink! A virgin pina colada is identical to what we're calling a pina colada mocktail here - all the delicious tropical flavors without any rum or other alcohol. The term comes from bartending lingo and is commonly used on restaurant menus to indicate alcohol-free versions of classic cocktails.

Notes

For the creamiest result, make sure your pineapple is fully frozen.
Coconut cream, not coconut milk, gives the best richness and texture.
If your blender isn’t high-powered, blend in short bursts and scrape down the sides if needed.
You can garnish with extra mint, a pineapple slice, or even a paper umbrella for fun!
