There is nothing like a chilled glass of Pineapple Mango Piña Colada on a warm afternoon.

A nonalcoholic tropical blend of creamy coconut cream, juicy pineapples, mango puree, and coconut sugar is garnished with a wedge of pineapple slice to create a tropical feel in your home. 

Best of all, it’s a drink the entire family can enjoy guilt-free!

It’s summertime here and what’s better than a homemade Pineapple Mango Piña Colada that is not too overly sweet, easy to blend up, and coco-nutty!

Making Piña Colada at home is a breeze.

You only need a little time and a handful of fresh ingredients to prepare this thirst-quenching summer drink.

What is Piña Colada?

The term Pina Colada means “strained pineapple,” which is freshly pressed, and a sweet rum-based cocktail is prepared with coconut cream, fresh fruits, strained pineapple juice, and crushed ice.

It is served in a hurricane glass garnished with a maraschino cherry and pineapple wedge.

Did you know: Since 1978, Piña Colada is the national drink of Puerto Rico.

In today’s recipe, I have omitted the rum, and it’s a Virgin Piña Colada.

To make this non-alcoholic drink, all you need is a few essential ingredients, five minutes of your time, and a strong blender. Just blend and enjoy.

Close your eyes and sip, and you might be able to hear the ocean waves crashing around you.

Ingredients for Pineapple Mango Piña Colada

Ingredients required to make this Pineapple Mango Piña Colada!

There is so much to love about this pineapple Piña Colada because it has the tropical fruit combination of –

  • Fresh Pineapple Chunks – If fresh pineapple isn’t available, you may use frozen pineapple chunks or canned pineapple.
  • Fresh Mango Puree – Use fresh because fresh tastes the best.
  • Coconut Cream – I have used the solid coconut cream on top. Do not substitute coconut cream with coconut milk or coconut water. 
  • Fresh Pineapple juice – You can use pineapple juice from canned pineapples. 
  • Coconut Sugar. Don’t want to use coconut sugar? No worries; use honey, maple syrup, or even refined sugar.
  • And Ice, of course.

Isn’t that a nice and refreshing drink packed with some tropical and exotic flavors!

Tips, variations, and faqs to make the best piña colada recipe!

» To make piña colada, you will need a strong blender that can blend your fruits and ice well.

» For best taste, use chilled pineapple in this recipe. 

» This recipe makes 4 cups of piña colada but can be easily scaled up or down to suit your preferences.

» Feel free to add alcohol to this recipe to amp up the piña colada flavor. For best flavor, add 2 oz. of rum to the blender and blend.

» There are so many different ways in which you can make these drink alcoholic. Some tested and tried options are coconut rum, white rum, aged, spiced, or dark rum.  

» Like thick and frothy piña colada, be sure to use frozen pineapple chunks. 

» For this Piña Colada drink, please use coconut cream. Refrigerate the full-fat coconut milk can for 3-4 hours. When chilled, scoop out the solid coconut cream on top and add it to the recipe.

» Taste equally good with frozen pineapple! You can either use store-bought frozen pineapples or make some at home. To make at home: peel and core the pineapple. Cut into desired chunks. Transfer it to a plastic bag and freeze until solid.

Difference between Coconut Cream and Cream of Coconut!

Cream of coconut is a thick, sweetened form of coconut milk and is the most popular choice to use when it comes to cocktails. A traditional piña colada is made with cream of coconut, and therefore it tastes so sweet.

But if you prefer a less sugary piña colada than use coconut cream. It the rich and thick cream that rises to the top of the can after the full-fat coconut milk is refrigerated.

It delivers the same taste and flavor minus the extra sweetness: All coconut flavor and less sugar.

Because of added sugar, coconut cream and cream of coconut cannot be substituted for each other. The piña colada made with coconut cream can be sweetened with cane sugar or honey.

Other Variations of Piña Colada!

  • Berrylicious Piña Colada – sub pineapple and mango for fresh berries you have on hand.
  • Banana Mango flavor– Swab pineapple with two ripe bananas
  • Coconut-ty Piña Colada – Exchange pineapple and mango for coconut cream, pineapple juice, and coconut rum.
