I first shared this Pineapple Rum Slush on my friend, Amanda’s blog, Amanda’s Cookin’.

Pineapple Whip Slushy Cocktail Recipe

One of my favourite treats at Disney is the classic Dole Whip – I have to have at least one every time we visit the parks, and last year while we were staying at the Polynesian Resort I was so excited to see a Dole Whip Cocktail on the menu at the pool bar!

The presentation left something to be desired (it could have just been the bartender I had that day. He was cute but grumpy!), but it was good and the view of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kindgom in the distance was a treat all of it’s own!

It’s still a couple months until our next scheduled trip (yes, we go to Disney a couple times a year), so I had to whip up my own version – and this Pineapple Whip Cocktail is definitely tiding me over until I can have the real thing! It’s fresh, creamy and the perfect tropical slushy cocktail for serving on a hot summer day.

(And I made a quick how-to video so you can see just how easy it is to whip these up!)

It’s also perfect for Disney movie nights, or for serving to grown-ups at summer parties – and you can make a nonalcoholic version for the kids to enjoy. (Just be sure to garnish them differently or maybe even use a different fruit so that they look really different and there’s no risk of confusing the two.)

We’ve made our own Pineapple Dole Whips at home before and the flavour is bang on, but it’s that perfect soft-serve texture that our DIY version lacks (and I’m not about to invest in a soft-serve ice cream machine for just one craving…)

However, this Pineapple Whip Cocktail is the perfect replica of the version I had at the Polynesian Pool Bar – and maybe even better! It has a smooth, daiquiri-like texture with a fun pineapple-coconut flavor which you can make more intense by topping things off with some additional pineapple juice. (Plus, let’s be honest – it’s cuter, too!)

There is a generous amount of dark rum (Gosling’s Bermuda Rum is my favourite) in each cocktail, about 1/4 cup, but the drinking experience is smooth – almost dangerously so! So make sure to serve an appetizer or snack alongside and to have a glass of water in between each serving so that the rum doesn’t sneak up on you! (Let your guests know, too, so that they don’t overindulge either.)

These Pineapple Cocktails taste just like a pineapple slushy or smoothie, and you can play with the flavour or fruit combination as much as you’d like. I added a bit of coconut milk because I had it on hand (my daughter is on a dairy-free kick), but almond milk, regular milk or even a fruit juice would in it’s place. You could also do a raspberry whip slushy, a mango whip slushy – there are so many options! (Our lime-mint mojito slushies are also a favorite twist.)

So, without further delay – grab a blender and your sunglasses, and prepare yourself for a sweet, icy treat!

Tip: I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. You can order the Rum needed for this recipe from them.
