Description
A refreshing Tropical Margarita Mocktail with pineapple, orange, and lime, balanced by coconut cream and agave. Perfect for summer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or simple syrup, to taste)
- 1/4 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Pineapple chunks, for garnish
- Optional: Toasted coconut flakes, for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Rim (Optional): Pour a small amount of agave nectar onto a small plate. On a separate plate, spread out the toasted coconut flakes evenly. Dip the rim of each glass into the agave nectar, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, immediately dip the rim into the toasted coconut flakes, pressing gently to adhere. Place the rimmed glasses in the refrigerator while you prepare the mocktail.
- Combine Juices and Sweetener: In a shaker or pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, coconut cream, and agave nectar.
- Shake or Stir Well: If using a shaker, add a few ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients. If using a pitcher, stir well until the agave nectar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Taste and Adjust: Give the mixture a taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness to your liking. If it’s too tart, add a little more agave nectar. If it’s too sweet, add a squeeze of lime juice.
- Add Sparkling Water: Gently stir in the sparkling water or club soda. Be careful not to over-stir, as this will cause the bubbles to dissipate.
- Fill Glasses with Ice: Fill the prepared glasses (with or without the coconut rim) with ice cubes.
- Pour the Mocktail: Pour the Tropical Margarita Mocktail into the glasses, leaving a little room at the top.
- Garnish Generously: Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a pineapple chunk.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Tropical Margarita Mocktails immediately and enjoy!
