Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and grated

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Start by peeling and grating a small piece of fresh ginger until you have about a teaspoon of grated ginger to release its aromatic oils.
  2. Pour the pineapple juice and coconut cream into your blender, adding the white rum for flavor.
  3. Add the grated ginger directly into the blender mixture to infuse the drink with its spicy warmth.
  4. Fill the blender with the ice cubes, creating a mound on top of the liquid ingredients.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, about 30-45 seconds.
  6. Check the consistency—if it’s too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice and blend briefly again; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
  7. Once the slushie reaches a velvety, icy texture with vibrant color, pour it into chilled glasses.
  8. Garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a sprig of mint, if desired, for an extra tropical vibe.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more grated ginger. Adjust sweetness by varying pineapple juice and coconut cream quantities.
