For the Base

1 cup Fresh Raspberries Substitute with frozen raspberries for a chilled drink.
1 cup Pineapple Chunks You can use canned pineapple in natural juice if fresh is unavailable.
1 cup Coconut Cream Light coconut milk works for a lighter twist.
1 cup Coconut Water Use sparkling water for a fizzy effect instead!
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice Avoid bottled lime juice for the best taste.
2 tablespoons Honey Agave syrup or maple syrup can be substituted for a vegan option.

For the Frosty Blend

2 cups Ice Cubes Essential for chilling and creating that refreshing slushy texture.

Equipment

High-speed blender

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by rinsing 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 1 cup of pineapple chunks under cool water. If using frozen raspberries, allow to thaw slightly.
In a high-speed blender, combine the prepared raspberries, pineapple chunks, 1 cup of coconut cream, 1 cup of coconut water, the juice of one fresh lime, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Blend on medium-high for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
Once your base is smooth, add about 2 cups of ice cubes and 1 ounce of white rum if you’re opting for that. Blend for an additional 30-45 seconds.
Taste to check for sweetness; adjust with honey or lime juice as desired.
Pour the frothy Raspberry Colada Twist into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh raspberries, pineapple wedge, and mint.
