Coconut Coolers
Hey there, and welcome back, friends.
You are in for a refreshing drink!
Coconut Coolers
A sweet and refreshing summer drink. These coconut coolers are simple to whip up and will take you to a tropical island immediately! Easy dairy-free cooler recipe.
These coconut coolers are a sweet combination of coconut milk, coconut cream, and some ice. You can enjoy them with some rum or leave them as a non-alcoholic cooler.
I was inspired by a drink the hubs and I had when ate at P.F Chang’s and I had one of their coconut cooler drinks and it was delicious!!
A little sweet for my taste but I loved the heavy coconut flavors and I decided to replicate it at home.
Simple, easy, and yet refreshing on a hot humid day. They are now my go-to drink these days as it is so easy to whip up and I can get all my coconut fix in a jiffy.
They are easy to customize as well. Try adding fresh fruit toppings, mixing in pineapple juice for a more tropical flavor or heck add some rum to get the party started.
I just kept things simple … added a few chopped strawberries in this batch for a pop of color. But feel to free to make these your own and enjoy some coconut-loving coolers.
Coconut Cooler Ingredients
- coconut milk

How to Make Coconut Coolers

What?! Expecting? Oh, boy! The juice you miss when your away! Well, congratulations Zainab! I feel like I should be bringing you a dish or something. LOL! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. By the way, I’m going coco(nuts) for this one. This is going to be fun! Nothing can compare to living vicariously through the taste buds of a as we say in Krio a, “belly woman”. LOL!
Thanks Tonya!! And you are right, a belly woman has the best taste buds!
Such a perfect, refreshing summer drink!
Loving this!!! I loved measuring the baby with fruit and veg and would eat whatever size the baby was that week. Now that I look back, that is kinda strange hahaha In all fairness, I do nibble on Nadia every now and then. But, gah, this cooler is just calling my name. I love all the coconut going on here, especially with that little pop of color going on!
Hahhah Amanda that is so funny lol! Glad the nibbling didn’t stop after Nadia was here 🙂
i have been wanting to try watermelon gazpacho..but anything with watermelon is delicious.
That’s next on my list!!
I love that you love coconut so much, Zainab! haha 🙂 It’s a flavor I used to hate, but have come to love over the years and I am totally drooling at these coconut coolers! They look and sound so refreshing!!
Hahha it is more a lifetime addiction!! So glad you came around over the years 😉
Ooooh these look and sound so refreshing and delicious; I really should use coconut milk more!
I always have coconut milk (and cream) in my pantry!! So staple 😉
Haha, it’s so funny that you mention the watermelon phase because I totally made that comparison to my sister when she was pregnant years ago! And, to be honest, I have no clue why we compare baby growth to fruits either! This cooler sounds wonderful!
Hhaha the watermelon phase is hopefully the end lol!
as a lover of all things coconut, my eyes just got really big upon reading this and my desire for quitting time to get here has increased exponentially!
We are kindred spirits!!
I am a coconut fanatic and I LOVE this frosty drinks! Pinned!
Thanks Ashley!!
I did not know you are pregnant!! I missed a lot in my blog hiatus! Well, belated congratulations! I’m so excited for a little Blahnik Baker baby!!! These coconut coolers look so delicious! This might be a stupid question – but where do you get coconut cream?
hahha thank you Liz! That happens when one is away from the interwebs!
Baby boy is about the size of a coconut?!!! Ah, love it, momma!!! and LOVE these coconut coolers!!! Just the type of treat I want on a summer day!!! LOVE!
Lol!! Thanks Alice!!
