Description

Creamy coconut meets tangy raspberry in this fun twist on a classic colada. It’s perfect for beach days or lounging at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • ¾ cup pineapple juice (chilled)
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 12 oz white rum (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • Optional garnish: fresh raspberry, pineapple wedge, mint sprig, shredded coconut rim

Instructions

  1. Chill your glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Optional: Rim the glass with toasted coconut or crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
  2. In a blender, add frozen raspberries, pineapple juice, coconut cream, white rum (if using), and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust. Add honey or simple syrup for sweetness. Add lime juice for tanginess. Add pineapple juice if too thick.
  4. Pour into your chilled glass. Top with whipped cream, a fresh raspberry, and a pineapple wedge, or sprinkle shredded coconut on top.

Notes

  • Mocktail Version: Skip the rum.
  • Frozen Layered Effect: Blend raspberries separately from the coconut-pineapple base and layer.
  • Creamier Texture: Add ½ a frozen banana or vanilla yogurt.
  • Berry Blend: Swap in strawberries or blueberries.
