Scale

- 4 cups (946 milliliters) pineapple juice, chilled
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, chilled
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) coconut milk (canned, full-fat or light)
Creamy and Sweet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (118 milliliters) cream of coconut (e.g., Coco Lopez)
Texture and Garnish:
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) sparkling water (optional, for extra fizz)
- Ice cubes or crushed ice
- Shredded coconut (for garnish)
- Pineapple wedges (for garnish)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a velvety foundation by thoroughly blending pineapple juice, coconut milk, and cream of coconut in a spacious punch vessel, ensuring a silky, uniform consistency.
- Moments before presentation, incorporate lemon-lime soda and sparkling water with a delicate touch to maintain effervescence and prevent excessive foam.
- Select generously sized glasses and fill them with crystalline ice cubes or finely crushed ice, creating a chilled receptacle for the tropical libation.
- Cascade the luminous punch into each prepared glass, allowing the liquid to gently settle and create an inviting visual appeal.
- Transform the beverage’s presentation by delicately sprinkling a gossamer layer of shredded coconut across the surface, mimicking a gentle winter landscape.
- Elevate the aesthetic by adorning each glass rim with a vibrant pineapple wedge or a glossy maraschino cherry, adding a playful and elegant finishing touch to this refreshing tropical concoction.
Notes
- Whip ingredients thoroughly to ensure a silky, smooth texture without lumps in the coconut milk and cream of coconut blend.
- Chill all liquid ingredients beforehand to keep the punch refreshingly cold without diluting its vibrant tropical flavors.
- Adjust sweetness by selecting lighter cream of coconut brands or adding a splash of fresh lime juice for balanced tanginess.
- Create a kid-friendly or mocktail version by skipping carbonated drinks and using extra sparkling water for a bubbly sensation.
