Notes

  • For a Thicker Shake: Use more frozen pineapple chunks or add a few ice cubes. You can also freeze the coconut milk in ice cube trays and add those to the blender.
  • For a Sweeter Shake: Add a little more cream of coconut or a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar.
  • For a Tangier Shake: Add a little more lime juice.
  • For a Vegan Shake: Use non-dairy milk, coconut ice cream, and vegan whipped cream.
  • Add a Tropical Twist: Try adding a few slices of mango or papaya to the blender for an extra tropical flavor.
  • Make it a Mocktail: Omit the rum for a kid-friendly version.
  • Layered Effect: For a visually appealing layered effect, blend half of the milkshake with a few drops of green food coloring and the other half with a few drops of red food coloring. Pour the green layer into the glass first, followed by the red layer.
  • Rim the Glass: Before pouring the milkshake, rim the glass with shredded coconut. To do this, spread a thin layer of honey or corn syrup on a plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the honey, then dip it into the shredded coconut.
