Chef’s Secret

For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut cream and a dash of dark rum in your mix, even if making a virgin drink, as the flavor component is key.

Substitutions

Best Match

Pineapple Juice + Coconut Cream

2:1 (juice:cream)

Closest fresh substitute, allows for customization of sweetness and creaminess.

Pineapple Juice + Cream of Coconut

2:1 (juice:cream)

Cream of coconut is sweetened and thicker, offering a very similar profile to mix.

Mango Nectar + Coconut Milk

1:1

For a similar tropical, creamy profile with a mango twist.

Fruit Punch + Coconut Water

1:1

Less authentic but works for a quick, sweet, tropical-ish drink base.
