I’ve made a lot of summer drinks in my kitchen, but this Tropical Mocktail might be my favorite yet. After testing it multiple times and tweaking the balance of tangy lime and creamy coconut milk, I knew I had something special.

When I served it at a recent get together, everyone went back for seconds. No leftovers, just empty glasses and recipe requests. It’s made with a frozen tropical fruit blend, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut milk, all blended into a smooth, vibrant treat. If you're looking for a no fuss drink that screams summer and always gets rave reviews, this is it.

Ingredients
What you'll need for this summer mocktail!
- Cape Cod Select Tropical Frozen Fruit Blend: A powerhouse mix of cranberries, banana, pineapple, and mango. Convenient resealable package allows for using as much or as little as needed each time. No additives or preservatives!
- Coconut Milk (Full Fat): Look for the canned variety for maximum creaminess. This is the silky base that ties it all together. Make sure to stir the coconut milk or shake before using.
- Fresh Lime Juice: Don’t even think about skipping this. It’s the secret to making the flavors pop and keeping the drink from feeling too rich.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds a smooth sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tart and bright fruit flavors.

Instructions
Let's make a tropical mocktail!
- Get your frozen fruit and high powered blender ready.
- Add the frozen fruit, coconut milk and lime juice to a high powered blender.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk.
- Blend until smooth, adjusting the amount of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Hint: Coat the rim of your serving glasses with honey or agave, then press them into finely chopped coconut for a fun tropical touch.
Pro Tips
- Use the fruit straight from the freezer: No need to thaw! This keeps your mocktail thick and slushy without diluting the flavor like ice would.
- Start with half the liquid: Blend, then add more if needed to get the consistency you like.
- Don’t skip the lime: The acidity from fresh lime juice brings everything together and balances the creamy sweet elements perfectly.
- Change up the fruit: Add some frozen strawberries, raspberries, or orange!
- Use full fat coconut milk: The richness of full fat canned coconut milk gives this drink body and that smooth, velvety finish that makes it feel luxe.
Variations
Twists on this tropical mocktail!
- Throw in some fresh mint: A handful of mint leaves used as garnish makes this tropical mocktail extra refreshing.
- Make popsicles: Pour the mixture into molds and freeze for a frozen treat the whole family will love.
- Boozy twist: A shot of coconut rum or banana liqueur turns this into a poolside tropical cocktail in seconds.
- Top with toasted coconut or a wedge of pineapple: For a tropical garnish that looks as good as it tastes.
- Add Greek yogurt for a smoothie style breakfast: Want something a little more filling? Blend in a scoop of full fat Greek yogurt to turn this into a tropical breakfast shake. It adds protein and a tangy twist.
