Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups peach nectar or juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup maraschino cherry juice or syrup
- Crushed ice
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
- Fresh peach slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill tall serving glasses halfway with crushed ice. For extra frostiness, chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand.
- In a blender, combine the peach nectar, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. Blend for 15-20 seconds until well mixed and smooth.
- Pour the blended fruit and coconut mixture over the crushed ice in each glass, filling about three-quarters of the way up.
- Slowly drizzle the maraschino cherry juice or syrup down the inside of the glass to create beautiful, sunset-like streaks.
- Top each drink with more crushed ice as needed.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a fresh peach slice on the rim.
- Serve immediately with a straw for swirling and sipping.
Notes
- For an adult version, add 1-2 ounces of coconut rum or white rum per glass.
- Use high-quality juices and coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use canned coconut cream for extra richness.
- Try substituting mango nectar for peach or add orange juice for extra zing.
- Add sweetener such as honey, agave, or simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Use frozen peach or pineapple chunks for a frostier drink.
- The blended mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
