Mocktail Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1.5 oz fresh orange juice
- 0.75 oz simple syrup
- 1.5 oz cream of coconut
Garnishes
- Green sugar (for rimming)
- Dried orange slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass rim: Pour green sugar into a shallow dish. Run a slice of fresh orange around the rim of a glass to moisten it, then dip the glass rim into the green sugar to coat it evenly.
- Coat the inside of the glass: Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle and slowly pour the cream of coconut around the inside middle of the glass while turning it so it coats the interior surface, creating a creamy layer against the glass.
- Set aside the prepared glass: Place the glass aside for now to keep it ready for the mocktail.
- Blend the mocktail ingredients: In a blender, combine frozen mango chunks, pineapple juice, fresh orange juice, and simple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour the blended mixture: Transfer the blended mocktail into the prepared glass, letting the cream of coconut layering remain visible inside the glass.
- Garnish and serve: Top the mocktail with a dried orange slice, fresh orange slice, candy eyes, or any other festive garnish of your choice for a decorative touch.
- Enjoy your drink: Stir gently if desired, then sip and enjoy this delicious, tropical Brain Freeze Mocktail.
Notes
- Use frozen mango chunks to achieve a slushy texture without adding ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste preferences.
- For a creamier consistency, chill the cream of coconut before use.
- Rimming the glass with fruit and sugar adds both flavor and a festive presentation.
- This mocktail can be easily scaled up for parties and gatherings.
- For a slightly tangier twist, add a splash of lime juice to the blend.
