Strawberry Coconut Mocktail

Why You’ll Love Strawberry Coconut Mocktail Recipe

This mocktail balances fruity brightness (from strawberry, pineapple, and lime) with tropical coconut coolness, making each sip both refreshing and indulgent. It’s quick and simple to make, naturally dairy‑free, and offers flexibility: you can skip the alcohol entirely for a fully “virgin” drink, or add a splash of gin (or your choice of spirit) if you prefer. The addition of a creamy coconut‑cream popsicle or splash of coconut milk gives it a fun, creamy finish that feels extra special — as if you’re on vacation.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• non‑alcoholic gin (or regular gin, or omit for alcohol‑free)

• coconut water

• pineapple juice

• fresh lime juice

• coconut syrup

• strawberry puree

• coconut cream popsicle (or optional coconut milk / coconut cream)

For the strawberry puree

• powdered sugar (or powdered sweetener)

• fresh strawberries

Directions

1. Prepare the strawberry puree: combine the strawberries and powdered sugar in a blender, then blend on high for 15–30 seconds until smooth.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add the gin (if using), strawberry puree, coconut water, lime juice, coconut syrup, and pineapple juice. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.

3. Pour the mixture over ice into a glass.

4. Add a coconut cream popsicle (or pour in a splash of coconut milk/cream if you prefer).

5. Garnish with a flower, fruit slice, or festive umbrella. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Servings and timing

Makes 1 serving.
Total time: about 5 minutes.

Variations

• Sparkling version: Top off with club soda or sparkling water for a fizzy twist.

• No popsicle?: Use a splash of coconut milk or coconut cream instead of a popsicle for a creamy finish.

• Alcoholic version: Substitute non‑alcoholic gin with traditional gin, rum, or vodka for a cocktail variation.

• Flavor tweak: Adjust sweetness by adding more or less coconut syrup or sugar; for extra citrusy freshness, add a bit more lime juice.

• Berry swap: Use frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t available; you may want to reduce the liquid slightly to maintain flavor intensity.

Storage/Reheating

This drink is best enjoyed fresh. Because it contains fresh fruit puree and possibly a popsicle, it does not store well. If you must prepare in advance, blend the strawberry puree separately and store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Combine and serve just before drinking. Do not freeze after mixing — the texture and flavor will degrade.

FAQs

How can I make this drink non‑alcoholic?

Simply omit the gin (or other spirit) altogether. The coconut, strawberry, pineapple, and lime provide enough flavor for a delicious, alcohol‑free mocktail.

Can I make a larger batch for a party?

Yes — scale up all ingredients proportionally (e.g., for 4 servings, multiply each quantity by 4) and blend or shake in batches. Add ice and the coconut popsicle (or coconut milk) just before serving to keep it fresh.

What if I don’t have coconut syrup?

You can substitute with a splash of coconut milk plus a little sugar or simple syrup to taste — the coconut flavor will still shine through.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen strawberries work fine. The sweetness may be slightly different, so consider adjusting the sugar or syrup accordingly.

Is it possible to make this drink dairy‑free?

Yes — the recipe is naturally dairy‑free as long as you use coconut water or coconut milk/cream instead of dairy products.

Can I skip the coconut cream popsicle?

Absolutely. If you don’t have a popsicle, a splash of canned coconut milk or coconut cream gives a similar creamy, tropical finish.

How sweet is this drink — is it possible to make it less sweet?

It’s moderately sweet. To reduce sweetness, use less coconut syrup or powdered sugar in the strawberry puree, and consider adding a bit more lime juice for extra tartness.

Can I make a sparkling version?

Yes — simply top off the drink with club soda or sparkling water for a fizzy mocktail.

What glass or presentation works best?

Serve it over ice in a tall glass or cocktail glass. For a festive look, garnish with a fresh strawberry, lime wedge, or decorative umbrella.

Can I prepare parts of the drink in advance?

You can make the strawberry puree ahead of time (store up to 12 hours in the fridge) — but for best flavor and freshness, mix the drink and add ice/popsicle just before serving.

The strawberry coconut mocktail is a vibrant and tropical drink that brings together the brightness of strawberry and lime with the creamy sweetness of coconut and pineapple.
