Tropical cocktails
Summer is hot so cool cocktails that remind you of a tropical island are both delicious and refreshing. These exotic drinks are fruity, fun, and just bursting with flavor. Think coconut, pineapple, orange, and other fruits in the perfect blend of sweet and tart that, with one sip, takes you to the beach without leaving home.
Favorites like this colorful Blue Curacao Cocktail with coconut rum and sparkling orange water, a creamy Mango Colada with fresh mangos and coconut cream, and this light Pineapple Coconut Mojito with sweet pineapple juice, coconut water, and rum can't be beat for chillin' in the summer.

Recipe tips
Multiple servings: Double, triple, or make a big batch for a crowd by adjusting the serving size in the recipe card below.
Drink after blending: It is best served right away since it is a blended frozen drink. If left in the refrigerator it will become diluted and watery.
Flavored ice cubes: Make ice cubes with coconut water for a more coconut-flavored drink.
Keep it cold: Serve it in a frozen glass to keep it cold longer.
