Ingredients

Coconut milk-This is what gives the drink the creamy pie like flavor. I like the coconut milk because it is nice and light.
Limes-The limes are what makes this drink! I always prefer fresh juice over store bought. If you do buy store bought, make sure there are not any added sugars.
Pineapple juice-This is what sweetens this drink. You can obviously make your own with a juicer, or you can buy organic pineapple juice. Just make sure nothing funky is added to it.

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Substitutions And Variations

Coconut sugar-for the rim. You can also also use brown sugar if you are not avoiding refined sugars.
Coconut whipped cream– to garnish and drizzle on top.
Dairy free graham crackers– to sprinkle.
Fresh flowers- to garnish.
Coconut milk-If you are not dairy free, you can use heavy cream.

Equipment Needed

A large cocktail mixer- While this is not a must, it makes it easier to mix the mocktail!
Citrus juicer-If you are using fresh limes this will make it so much easier to juice them!

Expert Tips

Tip #1: Make sure your limes are ripe! The best way to tell if your limes are ripe is by the texture. They should be somewhat soft. If you leave limes sit out on your counter it will help them ripen faster.
Tip #2: The sugar rim is what makes this drink! Do not skip this step.
