Preparation of the cocktail:
- Add the coconut water, lemon or lime juice and mint into the blender.
- Add sugar only if the coconut water is not sweet.
- Process till the mint is finely chopped.
- Add some crushed ice into the glasses.
- Divide this liquid between 2 glasses.
- Add 1-2 scoops of the pineapple coconut sorbet.
- Decorate with mint sprigs, pineapple wedges or as you wish and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don't get any coconut meat, then add ¼ cup coconut cream to the pineapple to make the sorbet.
- I used lemon instead of lime as I didn't get any lime.
- If you want to add some coconut rum or any other rum, add 2oz (½ cup) to the coconut water.
- Adding crushed ice is totally optional as adding the cold sorbet makes the drink cold.
- I didn't add any sugar as both the pineapple juice and coconut water were sweet.
- I used about 1½ cups of pineapple chunks to get 1 cup juice.
- For a healthy version, add stevia, maple syrup or honey instead of sugar if necessary.
