Instructions:
Step 1:
Prepare all of your ingredients. If the pineapple is fresh, you can cut them into chunks and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for a few hours. You can also use unfrozen pineapples, the texture and color will just be different.
Step 2:
In your blender, add 1 and 1/2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup of ice, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of pineapple juice, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Place the lid and blend until it becomes smooth. Make a taste test and adjust brown sugar or other ingredients if needed. If you want it to be creamy you can add coconut cream.
Step 3:
Pour the mixture into your glass and add your straw. Insert two maraschino cherries and a pineapple chunk into a toothpick. Garnish on top of your drink. You can also put a cocktail umbrella to turn it into a fun drink. Serve and enjoy!
