Instructions:
- Start with a small plate, mixing the sugar and shredded coconut together. Then, moisten the rim of a glass and dip it in the mixture to coat the edge.
- Using the cocktail shaker, add the pineapple juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice.
- Add ice to the shaker, cover, and shake well for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is chilled. Be careful not to seal the shaker too tightly, as it might get stuck!
- Strain the mixture and pour it into the prepared glass with the decorated rim.
- Add the non-alcoholic blue curaçao and use the bar spoon to gently stir, creating a uniform color. You can garnish with a pineapple slice and a cherry. Enjoy!
Preparation Tips:
- Fresh pineapple juice is ideal for a natural, vibrant flavor, though canned or bottled juice also works well.
- To know if the mixture is ready, look for a thin frost layer forming on the outside of the shaker.
- If you'd like a sweeter drink, add a little more simple syrup, adjusting to your taste.
- For an eye-catching color, mix the non-alcoholic blue curaçao just before serving.

*Alternative for the Jigger
If you don't have a jigger, you can use:
Measuring spoons:
- 1 oz = 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- 1/2 oz = 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
Kitchen measuring cups:
Many kitchen measuring cups have markings for ounces and milliliters, allowing you to accurately measure the necessary ingredients without any problem.
*Alternative for the Shaker
If you don't have a shaker, try one of these alternatives:
Jar with a lid (like a Mason jar):
Fill it with the ingredients and ice, seal the lid tightly, and shake it like a shaker. It works great for mixing and chilling ingredients.
Coffee thermos:
A coffee thermos (well cleaned, to avoid mixing smells or flavors) can function as a shaker when closed and shaken. It’s a solid option.
Tall glass and spoon:
If your mocktail or cocktail doesn’t need a strong shake, simply mix the ingredients directly in the glass with a long spoon (or bar spoon, if you have one) and add ice at the end.
