- 0.75 oz simple syrup
- 1.5 oz cream of coconut
Garnishes
- Green sugar for rimming
- Dried orange slices
- Optional: fresh orange slice, candy eyes, or other festive garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Pour green sugar into a shallow dish. Run a slice of orange around the rim of a glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the green sugar to coat it evenly.
- Coat the Inside of the Glass: Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle and slowly pour the cream of coconut around the inside middle of the glass while turning it to create an even coating on the glass interior. Set the glass aside.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen mango chunks, pineapple juice, fresh orange juice, and simple syrup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Drink: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glass, carefully retaining the decorative cream of coconut coating.
- Add Garnishes and Serve: Top the mocktail with a dried orange slice, fresh orange slice, candy eyes, or any other festive garnish you prefer. Stir gently, sip, and enjoy your Brain Freeze Mocktail!
