Ingredients
Scale
For the Mocktail
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- 1.5 oz fresh orange juice
- 0.75 oz simple syrup
- 1.5 oz cream of coconut
For Garnish and Decoration
- Green sugar (for rimming)
- Dried orange slices (for garnish)
- Optional: Fresh orange slices, candy eyes, or other festive garnishes
Instructions
- Prepare the glass rim: Pour green sugar into a shallow dish. Run a fresh orange slice around the rim of a glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the green sugar to coat it evenly.
- Coat the inside of the glass: Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle and slowly pour the cream of coconut around the inside middle while turning the glass to create a creamy layer coating the interior surface.
- Set aside the prepared glass: Place the coated glass to the side so it’s ready for the mocktail mixture.
- Blend the mocktail ingredients: In a blender, combine frozen mango chunks, pineapple juice, fresh orange juice, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the blended mixture: Transfer the blended mocktail into the prepared glass carefully so the cream of coconut layer remains visible inside the glass.
- Garnish and serve: Top the mocktail with a dried orange slice or other festive garnishes like fresh orange slices or candy eyes for decoration.
- Enjoy your drink: Stir gently if desired, then sip and enjoy the delicious tropical flavors of the Brain Freeze Mocktail.
