Notes
These must stay chilled if you are not serving them.
You can make these the night before serving, which is especially helpful since they have to chill at least 3 hours- overnight is preferable.
These are the
shot cups
I use (paid affiliate link.)
Sometimes the cream of coconut can separate in the can so it's important you stir it before using.
To amp up the pineapple flavor, you can use cold pineapple juice in place of the cold water.
They are best when garnished and then served immediately, so if you have a party, I would garnish them one by one as people enjoy them.
Do not store in the fridge with the garnish on top. Store with the lid on in the fridge for up to 1 week.
They freeze well for up to 3 months. They are even good frozen! Or, you can let them thaw overnight in the fridge.
You can make these alcohol free by omitting the alcohol and adding some pineapple juice or coconut water instead for yummy flavor.
