Sweet Heat Coconut Pina Colada Mocktails made with Ultima Stickpacks

Sweet Heat Piña Colada Mocktail Recipe

My family is of Mexican heritage so I thought it would be fun to make a Keto Mocktail with Ultima Replenisher to celebrate #hispanicheritage month. Looking for a zero calorie, zero carb and zero sugar drink recipe that has a sweet and spicy kick? I call this mocktail/cocktail drink, "Sweet Heat".

I used the Piña Colada flavor from the new Ultima Mocktini pouch to give this cocktail a nice fruity and refreshing flavor. I then combined lime juice, strawberries, mineral water, crushed ice, and topped it off with some candied jalapeños. If you have never tried candied jalapeños, you need to give them a try. I promise they are such a fun way to eat this pepper.

This was such a unique profile for a drink. Low carb, refreshing, and a unique tribute to my heritage. Give this drink a try and let me know what you think. Want to kick this drink up? Add a couple shots of your favorite tequila to make it a perfect Keto Cocktail you can share with friends.

Ingredients:

(2) Ultima Pina Colada Stickpacks

(1) Juice of a whole lime

(6) Large strawberries

12oz Mineral Water

12oz crushed ice

*Optional 3oz of your favorite tequila.

 

For Candied Jalapenos:

½ tablespoon Monkfruit sweetener

1 large jalapeno

Makes 2 drinks.


Directions:

Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Pour into your chosen glass. Garnish with a couple of candied jalapenos.


Candied Jalapenos Recipe:

Slice 1 large jalapeno into thick slices. Place into a pan and cook over low heat for four minutes per side, keep heating until the jalapeno begins to soften in texture. Once soft, immediately remove them from the pan and place into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon Monkfruit sweetener to create a zero sugar candied flavor.
