Tropical Slush with Pineapple, Coconut, and Lime
Taste the tropical islands with this tropical slush drink! It is filled with pineapple, coconut, and lime flavors blended together making this one of the best drinks. These ingredients are inexpensive and easy to keep on hand all summer long!
- Lime sherbet – This is a sweet and tart sherbet that blends well with the lime and lemon in the 7up.
- Pineapple sherbet – Soften the sherbet ahead of time. This will help when scooping the sherbet.
- 7-up – A great kids’ drink that always blends well with other ingredinets. Usually fruity or tropical drinks. It does not have any caffeine too!
- Frozen pineapple juice – These come in cans that you can find in the freezer aisle of your grocery store.
- Frozen limeade – This is filled with lime juice and pulp and then frozen in a smaller container. The frozen concentrates will give an ice-cold boost when blended.
- Coco Lopez cream of coconut – The best creamy coconut flavoring that is smooth and full of flavor.
How to Make a Tropical Slush
Frozen tropical slush is the perfect drink for parties, at-home movie nights, or a hot day in the backyard. These are cooling and refreshing plus so easy to make! This tropical slushie is sweet and creamy with every sip!
- Soften – Allow sherbets to soften slightly.
- Blender – Mash sherbets, frozen juices, 7-up, and cream of coconut together.
- Serving – Serve in cups or hollowed-out pineapples or a cold drink beverage carrier.
Great for a couple or a crowd
This recipe makes a big batch so it is great for parties or a Hawaiian Luau! It makes enough for about 20 people so it will serve a pretty good quantity of people. But be warned, people tend to go back for second and third helpings of this yummy drink. So expand the recipe to fit the size of your gathering.
If you are making these for a smaller group, or just your family, you may want to half or quarter the recipe. You can also make a full batch and freeze what you don’t need. Then you can spoon some out on a random day and pretend that you are back on vacation!
Switch it Up
Using the same basic recipe, you can swap various flavors in and out to meet your preferences or allergies. This slushy is so versatile and easy to mix and match flavors and ingredinets to make it just the way you like it!
- Substitute coconut – Not a fan of coconut! Try using another flavor like raspberry. Or, leave the coconut out.
- Creaminess – If you leave out the coconut the drink will lose some of its creamy flavor and texture. However, if you want to keep creamy, but ditch the coconut, try using heavy cream or sweetened condensed milk. Just add a little until it tastes right.
- Soda – Use lemon sparkle water instead of 7up if you are watching calories or prefer not to have soda.
- Serving – We like to serve these in hollowed-out pineapples to make them even more fun. But you can definitely make them in a regular cup if you are short on time. If I make them without the real pineapple, I still like to add a slice of pineapple and cherry and a colorful straw. It’s also fun to add cute colorful paper umbrellas.
“Makes me think that I’m sitting on a beach when I’m sipping this! Love the flavor!”
