Ultima Sweet Heat Piña Colada Mocktail Recipe

Sweet Heat Piña Colada Mocktail Recipe

My family is of Mexican heritage, so I thought making a piña colada mocktail with Ultima Replenisher would be a fun way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

I wanted something with a little kick—a low sugar piña colada that’s fruity, refreshing and packed with flavor. That’s how the Sweet Heat mocktail came to be: made with the Piña Colada flavor from the Ultima Mocktini Variety pack, fresh lime, strawberries, mineral water, and a few candied jalapeños for an unexpected twist.

It turned out so well, we used the same Ultima Piña Colada Mocktini mix in another refreshing twist—a piña colada mocktail recipe with fresh lime, fizzy soda water and cooling mint. It’s crisp, clean and hydrating—a simple, feel-good drink you can enjoy anytime, with no blender required.

    4 Tips to Make Your Piña Colada Mocktails Even Better

    These drinks are already delicious, but with a few simple tweaks, you can take your piña colada mocktail to the next level.

    Use Chilled Ingredients

    Start with cold soda water, refrigerate your citrus juices and don’t skimp on the crushed ice. The colder your ingredients, the crisper and more refreshing your mocktail will be, especially on a warm day. Cold temperatures also help to preserve the bubbles in your carbonated mixers.

    Make It a Pitcher Drink

    If you’re entertaining guests, both of these recipes scale up beautifully. Mix a big batch in a pitcher, pop it in the fridge until guests arrive and let everyone pour their own. It’s a fun, interactive way to serve drinks, and the vibrant colors make for a beautiful party vibe!

    Customize Your Garnishes

    Garnishes add aroma, texture and a little personality to your drink. Try pineapple wedges, lime wheels, fresh mint, skewered strawberries or a sprinkle of toasted coconut. You can even add a tiny cocktail umbrella or a reusable straw for fun!

    Go Alcohol-Optional

    These low sugar piña colada mocktails are delicious on their own, but they also double as the perfect base for a guilt-free cocktail. Add a splash of your favourite tequila, rum or vodka for a keto-friendly adult version. You can even set up a mini "add-your-own" bar so guests can customise their sips.
