The Sunburst Coconut Fizz is a creamy pineapple coconut mocktail with a bright tropical profile and a fizzy finish. Coconut milk gives it a smooth, frothy body, while pineapple juice adds the golden fruit note that makes the drink feel sunny and refreshing.
The supplied serve note calls for a hurricane glass with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry. The featured image reads as a tall tropical glass with a pineapple wedge and pineapple leaves, so this version keeps the recipe intact while allowing either a tall glass or hurricane presentation.
What the Sunburst Coconut Fizz Tastes Like
Expect creamy coconut first, then ripe pineapple, followed by a clean sparkling lift. It is tropical and smooth without being overly sweet, especially when the club soda or sparkling water is added right before serving.

Why This Pineapple Coconut Mocktail Works
Coconut milk creates body and softens the acidity of pineapple juice. Shaking those two ingredients together builds a frothy base, while sparkling water lightens the drink so it finishes crisp instead of heavy.
Tips for the Best Fizz
- Use cold coconut milk and cold pineapple juice so the drink stays bright and refreshing.
- Shake before adding sparkling water; carbonated ingredients should be added last.
- For a richer texture, use full-fat coconut milk. For a lighter drink, use refrigerated carton coconut milk.
- Serve over crushed ice for the most tropical presentation.
When to Serve It
The Sunburst Coconut Fizz works well for brunch, poolside gatherings, tropical-themed parties, summer cookouts, baby showers, and any menu that needs a creamy zero-proof option.
Sunburst Coconut Fizz FAQ
Is the Sunburst Coconut Fizz alcoholic?
No. This version is a non-alcoholic pineapple coconut mocktail made with coconut milk, pineapple juice, and sparkling water.
Can I make the Sunburst Coconut Fizz with canned coconut milk?
Yes. Use well-shaken canned coconut milk for a richer drink, or carton coconut milk for a lighter, easier-sipping version.
Why shake the coconut milk and pineapple juice?
Shaking chills the drink quickly and gives the coconut milk a smoother, frothier texture before the sparkling water is added.
Can I serve it without sparkling water?
Yes, but the sparkling water gives the drink its fizz and keeps the creamy coconut and pineapple from feeling too heavy.
