White Christmas Colada Mocktail

This White Christmas Colada Mocktail is the ultimate holiday treat. It is a blend of pineapple and coconut with a rich, velvety texture, creating a creamy, non-alcoholic drink that tastes like a dream.

The secret is freezing the coconut cream ahead of time. This ensures an ultra-thick, perfectly cold colada that you can dress up with an optional coconut rim and festive garnishes.

Why This Festive Colada is a Must-Make

Velvet Texture: We use frozen coconut cream cubes instead of ice. Therefore, the drink remains thick and creamy without getting watery.

Holiday Elegance: The optional coconut rim with rosemary and cranberry garnish transform this into a visually stunning, snowy holiday drink. Furthermore, the contrasting red and green make it very festive.

Simple Assembly: Once the cubes are frozen, the entire drink comes together in a minute in the blender.

Key Ingredients for the Perfect Colada

The quality of the cream and the use of frozen elements are essential for this mocktail.

Frozen Coconut Cream Cubes: Plan this step ahead! Use thick, canned coconut cream and freeze it overnight in silicone ice cube trays.

Pineapple Juice: Use cold pineapple juice.

Cream and Condensed Milk: A touch of cold cream and sweetened condensed milk adds richness and sweetness. Specifically, the condensed milk gives the drink that signature velvety smoothness.

Rim Ingredients (Optional): Vanilla frosting and desiccated coconut are needed for the snowy rim effect.

How to Assemble Your White Christmas Colada

The process starts with preparing your beautiful rim, blending the frozen mixture, and serving immediately.

Prepare the Festive Rim (Optional Step): Using a teaspoon, spread the vanilla frosting on the rim of the glass. Then, put some desiccated coconut on a plate. Next, roll the rim of the glass onto the coconut. Set the glass aside.

Blend the Colada: In a blender, add the frozen coconut cream cubes, pineapple juice, cream, and condensed milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and frosty.

Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended colada into your prepared glass. Finally, optionally garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a holiday look.
