A Summery Sip That Started With a Family Beach Day
Last summer on a beach picnic with my kids, I found myself wishing for something fun and festive—without alcohol—that still screamed “vacation.” That’s how the Orange Pineapple & Coconut Mocktail was born. We had oranges, a can of pineapple, and leftover coconut milk from pancakes. A few shakes later in the travel thermos, and this dreamy mocktail was our new tradition.
Every time I sip this now, I taste those warm beachy memories. It’s not just a drink—it’s a tropical getaway in a glass. The best part? No alcohol needed, so the whole family can enjoy it.
Why This Mocktail Works
The combo of citrus and coconut is deeply satisfying. The orange juice gives it brightness, pineapple brings tangy sweetness, and the coconut milk ties it all together with a silky finish. It’s incredibly easy to make and only takes 5 minutes. Whether for a brunch, baby shower, or a hot afternoon, this drink always impresses.
