Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- ¾ cup pineapple juice, chilled
- ½ cup coconut cream (such as Coco López)
- 1–2 oz white rum (optional)
- 1 cup crushed ice
Optional Garnish
- Fresh raspberry
- Pineapple wedge
- Mint sprig
- Shredded coconut rim (for rimming glass)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Chill your hurricane or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to achieve a frosty finish. Optionally, rim the glass with toasted shredded coconut or dip the rim in honey and roll it in crushed freeze-dried raspberries for extra flair and flavor.
- Blend the Magic: In a blender, combine frozen raspberries, chilled pineapple juice, coconut cream, white rum if using, and crushed ice. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is thick enough to hold a garnish but smooth enough to comfortably sip through a straw.
- Taste & Adjust: Taste the drink and modify the flavors to your liking. For added sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or simple syrup. For a tangier profile, squeeze in fresh lime juice. If the mixture is too thick, pour in a splash more pineapple juice to loosen it.
- Serve & Garnish: Pour the blended cocktail into your chilled glass. Top with whipped cream if desired, then garnish with a fresh raspberry, pineapple wedge, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut to create a tropical, beach-inspired presentation.
Notes
- Use coconut cream, not coconut milk, for a richer and creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of rum based on your preference for alcohol strength or omit entirely for a non-alcoholic version.
- Rimming the glass with coconut or freeze-dried raspberries adds a decorative and flavorful touch.
- For a vegan garnish option, skip the whipped cream or use a plant-based alternative.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
