The Piña NOlada is a Zero-Proof Vacation-in-a-Glass
Need an island getaway? This non-alcoholic treat gets you almost there.
The piña colada is a top order at every all-inclusive resort, and no wonder. It smells and tastes like vacation. It’s so good you could get overserved on rum and sugar before the sun goes down.
We cleaned it up so you can enjoy it anytime. We skipped the sugary mixer and left out the rum, putting the “NO” in “Piña NOlada.” (Aren’t we so clever?! 😎) Then we brought in our new Coconut Sinless Syrup for that creamy, sweet coconut flavor. You won’t miss what’s missing.
By the Pool or On the Lake
When the heat is on, nobody wants a sugar crash or a hangover. You want something cold that tastes great and that you can sip all afternoon.
Our in-house mixologist is a BIG fan of the piña colada, so testing a million versions was no hardship. When Coconut Sinless Syrup launched, the NOlada got a remake. The syrup brings the sweet coconut flavor, and the rest of the glass stays simple. (See the recipe notes for a lighter version!)
A few more things we love about it:
Coconut water makes a light, refreshing base.
Pineapple powder gives you big pineapple flavor without a can of syrupy juice. We use this one.
It batches easily for poolside or dockside.
Everyone can have one, including whoever’s driving the boat.
Want the full resort experience? Pour it into these poolside-safe hurricane glasses.
Long, Dry January
When the holidays are over and you’re staring down a long, cold Wisconsin winter, an island getaway sounds even better. Piña NOlada to the rescue!
You get a vacation in a glass and bragging rights for #dryjanuary. 😉
Thirty-one days of good behavior can feel like a long time after November and December. The Piña NOlada isn’t quite sugar-free, since the coconut water and pineapple bring a few grams, but it makes up for it with beach vibes.
Our advice: steam up the bathroom, pour yourself a Piña NOlada, and play some Bob Marley (or whatever floats your boat) at least once this January and twice in February.
