The 17 Best Non-Alcoholic Summer Drink Recipes

Virgin Piña Coladas (Non-Alcoholic)

Amy from House of Nash Eats has gone to a great length to make this kid-friendly piña colada recipe. Her version with Coco López Cream of Coconut came out best after she tested various options. We take a look at it, and the cold, frothy drink with cherries on top is amazing, as Amy loved it too. If you want to blend this recipe, she recommends the Vitamix blender.

Why is this recipe ideal for non-alcoholic lovers? Well, she believes that the regular cream of coconut (an ingredient found in the drinks aisle by the alcoholic beverages) couldn’t capture the power of Coco López Cream of Coconut. Why? “The Cream of Coconut from Coco López imparts the best coconut flavor that couldn’t be matched by any other approach and balances out the pineapple just right.”, said Amy.
