🧊 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture.

However, you can store the base mixture (without ice) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving.

Make-Ahead

Mix your coconut milk, cream, lime, and pineapple juice in advance.

When ready to serve, add ice and blend or shake.

Rim and garnish the glasses just before pouring for the freshest presentation.
