Description

This Raspberry Colada Twist is a refreshing, creamy, and vibrant tropical mocktail made with fresh raspberries, coconut milk, and pineapple juice. Perfect for summer gatherings, parties, or a relaxing treat, this alcohol-free colada delivers bold fruity flavor with a smooth, island-style finish.

Ingredients

For the Raspberry Layer

1 cup fresh raspberries (washed)
1 tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

For the Colada Base

1 cup pineapple juice (chilled)
0.75 cup coconut milk (full-fat, well shaken)
0.25 cup crushed ice

For Garnish (Optional)

Fresh raspberries
Pineapple slices
Mint leaves

Instructions

Prepare the Raspberry Puree

1
Add fresh raspberries, honey (or sugar), and lemon juice to a blender. Blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.

Make the Colada Base

2
In the same blender (rinsed), combine pineapple juice, coconut milk, and crushed ice. Blend until creamy, smooth, and slightly frothy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Assemble the Drink

3
Pour the raspberry puree into the bottom of two serving glasses. Slowly pour the coconut-pineapple mixture over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect.

Garnish and Serve

4
Top with fresh raspberries, a pineapple slice, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately while chilled and fresh.

Note

For a thicker texture, use frozen raspberries instead of fresh.
You can replace honey with maple syrup or sugar syrup.
Chill all ingredients beforehand for the best flavor.
Store leftover raspberry puree in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
