Mock Colada Recipes

MOCK COLADA

Steps:

• Add 3 to 4 ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, plus the lime juice, pineapple juice, coconut milk and honey. Cover and shake to dissolve the honey and chill the drink. Strain into a 15- to 20-ounce hurricane glass filled with crushed ice. Top off with the seltzer. Spear the maraschino cherries and pineapple wedges on a cocktail pick for the garnish.

VIRGIN PIñA COLADA

Steps:

• To make a mock rum syrup, put the dark brown muscovado sugar and 200ml water in a saucepan, stir well and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Add a few strips of skin from the pineapple, add the black peppercorns, cloves and a cinnamon stick, then bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse until cold. Strain into a jug and set aside in the fridge until needed. Will keep for up to three days.
• Pour the pineapple juice into a tall glass, and add the coconut milk and lime juice. Stir gently. Fill up the glass with a handful ice then slowly add 25ml of the syrup so it sinks to the bottom. Garnish with pineapple leaves and a tinned cherry.
