A coconut milk mocktail gets body from coconut and fruit purée.

Serving inspiration from the ProstZero drink collection: velvet peach cloud

A coconut milk mocktail gets body from coconut and fruit purée. Mango supplies the fruit while lime adds a fresh finish. This recipe needs neither dairy cream nor a spirit alternative.

The quantities make one serving. Measure the ingredients before mixing and chill any mixer. Syrups, juices and bottled alternatives vary in sweetness and acidity, so taste the base before topping up.

Ingredients for one serving

  • 60 ml coconut milk
  • 60 g mango purée
  • 40 ml water
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 60 g ice

Method

  1. Stir coconut milk smooth.
  2. Blend with mango, water, lime and ice.
  3. Process briefly until creamy.
  4. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Getting the balance right

Carton coconut beverages are usually thinner than canned coconut milk. Reduce the added water if using one. Ripe mango often supplies enough sweetness, so taste before adding syrup. Smooth purée gives a finer texture than fibrous fruit pieces.

Variation and substitutions

Replace mango with banana and add 20 ml extra water for another creamy direction. A small pinch of cinnamon suits that version, while lime zest keeps the mango recipe fresh.

Preparing several servings

Measure juice, purée and syrup shortly before serving. Add ice and carbonated ingredients when you make the drink. To serve a group, multiply the quantities, but adjust one glass first before mixing the whole pitcher.

Common question

Why does coconut milk separate?

Its components can separate while standing. Stir well before measuring and serve the finished drink fresh.
