Creamy pineapple cocktail with vanilla vodka
This creamy, tropical cocktail comes together in minutes, and all you need are a handful of simple ingredients.
When it comes to cocktails, some flavour pairings never go out of style, and pineapple with coconut is one of them. The pineapple brings a tangy sweetness, while the coconut cream gives that rich, silky texture. Swap the usual rum for vodka and you get a smoother, creamier cocktail that’s more about the fruit and less about the booze burn.
Ingredients
- 50 ml vanilla vodka
- 100 ml fresh pineapple juice
- 50 ml coconut cream
- 10 ml lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple wedge and mint sprig, for garnish
- A sprinkle of toasted coconut
Method
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add vodka, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and lime juice.
- Shake well until smooth and chilled.
- Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
- Garnish with a wedge of pineapple and a mint sprig.
Tip: Add a drizzle of grenadine into the glass before pouring the cocktail. It will sink to the bottom, giving you a beautiful layered “sunset” effect.
