RECIPE
Mosambi Pineapple Coconut Mocktail
Shake coconut water with fresh mosambi and pineapple juice, pour over ice, and finish with a spoon of whipped coconut cream if you like it creamy. It is a party-friendly mocktail that takes about five minutes. Blood orange, if you can find it, makes a deeper red version.

- Spoon the coconut cream on top, if using, and serve.

Coconut water vs coconut cream
The coconut water is the base of the drink; the coconut cream is only a topping. Skip the cream for a lighter, coconut-water-only mocktail.
Making it for a party
Mix the juices and coconut water in a jug up to a few hours ahead and refrigerate. Shake or stir with ice just before serving, and add the cream topping glass by glass.
