Move on over Root Beer Floats because you have met your top competitor! Pina Colada Floats. They are out of this world incredible! Floats are always a big hit with kids, but even adults can get behind this beachy treat. You’ll feel like you’re lounging poolside with the sun on your skin with the very first sip.
Family-Friendly Pina Colada Floats
Fresh pineapple sherbet is drenched with a mixture of lemon-lime soda, creamy coconut milk, and coconut flavor for a delightful float that contains the most coveted flavors of the tropics. I can tell you beforehand this is going to be one of my summertime favorites. It is such a fun, exciting twist on a classic. It’s an easy party punch for a summer bash or pool party, but if you want to make it in the dead of winter to pretend it’s summer vacation… I won’t tell. Adding a wedge of pineapple on the edge is a fun garnish, and silly straws are extra festive for kids. I’ve also thought about sprinkling coconut flakes on top or swirling in a spoonful of crushed canned pineapple! Topping it with a maraschino cherry in a tall glass will also give you that grown-up Pina Colada vibe. Other variations could be using a pineapple soda, which I occasionally see at my local stores, coconut sorbet or coconut milk-based ice cream, or blending up frozen pineapple for a healthier icy treat.
Go on now, it’s time to kick back in the warm sun rays that are finally coming out of hibernation, and enjoy one of these utterly refreshing Pina Colada Floats.
