Ingredients
Scale
To bring a touch of Puerto Rico to your kitchen, you’ll need a handful of vibrant ingredients that capture the island’s essence. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups fresh coconut water
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp
- 1/2 cup mango puree
- 2 tablespoons honey (or agave syrup as a vegan option)
- 1 lime, juiced

Feel free to substitute the mango puree with papaya if you prefer a different tropical twist. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a pinch of cinnamon can add a comforting warmth that reminds me of home.
Instructions
Creating these refreshing drinks is as easy as a sunny morning stroll through a Devon meadow. Here’s how you can bring a taste of Puerto Rico to your home:
- In a blender, combine the coconut water, pineapple chunks, passion fruit pulp, and mango puree. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Add the honey or agave syrup and lime juice. Blend again for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Taste your drink and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed. Remember, it’s all about personal preference!
- Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blended mixture over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of elegance and a hint of freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of Puerto Rico right in your own home.
As you sip, imagine the cool breeze of the Caribbean against your skin and the rustle of palm leaves — it’s as close to paradise as you can get without leaving your kitchen.
