Easy Summer Drinks

People love the cold weather for cold weather drinks that are amazing. I agree. HOWEVER, you have got to admit that summertime drinks are pretty great too! This Strawberry Basil Lemonade is one of my go-to recipes!

Sometimes though, you want something a little creamier, a little sweeter, with more texture. This is where this awesome Strawberry Pina Colada recipe comes into play. I first had one of these I think at Dallas BBQs here in NYC. If you have never been to BBQs they serve GIGANTIC drinks for a minimal price. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About A Strawberry Pina Colada Mocktail

Q: Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
A: Absolutely! In fact, using frozen strawberries and pineapple chunks will give your mocktail that slushy texture that’s just divine.

Q: Is there a coconut milk substitute I can use?
A: Yes, if you’re not a fan of coconut milk, you can use almond milk or Greek yogurt for a creamy texture.

Q: Can I make this in large batches for parties?
A: Yes, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings. Just be sure to have a big enough blender or make it in batches.

Tips and Tricks

1. Sweeten to Taste: Depending on the sweetness of your fruit, you might want to add a bit of honey or agave syrup. Taste as you go!
2. Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving. This keeps your mocktail cold for longer.
3. Customize the Texture: Add more or less ice to get the desired consistency. Less ice for a more liquid drink, and more ice for a slushy texture.

Variations

1. Berry Delight: Add in a mix of berries like raspberries and blueberries for a berry-infused piña colada mocktail.
2. Mango Twist: Swap out strawberries for mango chunks for a more tropical vibe.
3. Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri: Leave out the pineapple and coconut milk, and add a dash of lime juice to make it into a virgin strawberry daiquiri.

Summer Treat For Events

I can totally see this recipe being used for a girls night in, bbqs, 4th of July or any social gathering really. It can be made all year round too, all of the ingredients are super easy to grab. You likely had them in your freezer and pantry like we did!

Where to Serve This Mocktail

1. Pool Parties: This mocktail is the perfect refreshment for a summer pool party.
2. Family BBQs: Pair it with grilled goodies for an amazing outdoor dining experience.
3. Kids’ Birthdays: Make your little ones feel extra special with this fancy yet alcohol-free beverage.

Storage Tips

1. Refrigerate: If you have leftovers or want to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator in a jug or airtight container for up to a day.
2. Freeze: For an icy treat later, freeze it in ice pop molds for homemade piña colada popsicles!

Presentation Is Everything

The way you make this yummy drink isn’t by blending everything all together all at once. Nope! You start by blending the strawberries, placing it on the bottom of the glasses. WASHING the blender so that you can keep the color of the coconut and the pineapple, then pour over the strawberries for the most perfect blend. 

Topping Options

1. Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream on top with a strawberry garnish makes it extra luxurious.
2. Shredded Coconut: Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top for added coconut flavor and texture.
3. Fresh Pineapple Wedge: Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge for that tropical flair.

When done it should look just like a lava flow! There is nothing hot about this drink, it’s just a delicious cool treat for a hot day (or even a cold one!)
