Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1 1/2 ounces white rum
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple chunks, light coconut milk, unsweetened pineapple juice, white rum, optional honey or agave syrup, and ice into a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large ice or pineapple pieces left.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the blended drink and add more honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter; blend briefly again if additional sweetener is added.

- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace it with additional pineapple juice.
- Use coconut water instead of coconut milk for an even lighter drink.
- Using frozen pineapple instead of ice will create a creamier texture.
