Ingredients
  

Drink Base
  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 0.5 cup Cream of Coconut Not coconut milk
  • 0.75 cup 100% pineapple juice chilled
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups ice cubes fresh
Garnish
  • 4 maraschino cherries with stems

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Tall glasses or clear plastic cups
  • Wide straws
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Place your serving glasses in the freezer to chill before you begin.
  2. In a high-speed blender, add the chilled pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and fresh lime juice.
  3. Add the frozen pineapple chunks and the fresh ice cubes on top of the liquids.
  4. Start the blender on a low speed to catch the ice, then increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Check consistency. If too thin, add a half cup of ice. If too thick to pour, add a splash of pineapple juice and pulse.
  6. Pour the thick slushy mixture into the chilled glasses, allowing it to mound slightly at the top. Garnish each drink with two maraschino cherries and serve immediately with a wide straw.

Notes

To make this an alcoholic cocktail, add 3-4 ounces of white rum to the blender before mixing.
