Ingredient substitutions
Pineapple
- Frozen pineapple: Use frozen chunks for a colder and thicker cooler.
Coconut milk
- Milk: Makes the drink less coconut forward and no longer dairy free.
Banana
- Pineapple: Keeps the drink fruity but makes it brighter and less creamy.
Lime
- Pineapple: Adds fruit sweetness but does not give the same sharp citrus lift.
Ice
- Water: Use very cold water if ice is unavailable, but the cooler will be thinner.
