3/4 oz cream of coconut
1/2 oz lime juice
3 chunks frozen pineapple
1/2 cup ice
mint garnish
Directions
Blend everything and garnish with mint.
Notes
Once again, Green Chartreuse in a tiki drink is bright and refreshing! The only catch—it was tough getting any coconut. I’m not sure if it’s the coconut cream itself, or lack of coconut rum, but I’d like to find a way to make the coconut shine through a bit.
Through generosity and lucky circumstances, I came into possession of a KitchenAid blender with a motor that means business. We still love our workhorse NutriBullet, but the KitchenAid nails the perfect texture for a frozen blended drink! There’s a blended drink setting with a cute tiki glass icon—it both crushes ice and aerates the drink.
Lesson learned: for blended drinks, use frozen pineapple instead of pineapple juice for a less diluted drink.
