Tropical Pineapple Coconut Hard Cider

If a Piña Colada met a Hard Cider at a beach bar, this would be the result. The fat in the coconut milk rounds out the acidity of the cider and pineapple, creating a creamy, tropical emulsion. Refreshing yet substantial.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill shaker with ice. Add pineapple juice and coconut milk (and honey if using).

Tip: Coconut milk separates in the can; stir until smooth before using.
2 ✓

Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.

Tip: Shaking aerates and emulsifies the fat and water.
3 ✓

Strain into ice-filled glasses (halfway full).

Tip: Use fresh ice in the glass.
4 ✓

Slowly top with cold cider and gently stir to combine without foaming over.

Tip: Carbonation reacts with foam; pour gently!
5 ✓

Garnish with mint and pineapple.

Tip: Slap the mint to release oils.

Recipe FAQ

The coconut milk curdled. Why?
Acid (cider/pineapple) can curdle proteins. Solution: Shake well with ice *before* adding the cider, and pour cider slowly at the end.
Can I use coconut water?
Yes, but it will be a light spritzer, not creamy.
