This Pineapple Coconut Spritz is a light, refreshing, tropical beverage that I just can’t get enough of. The coconut and pineapple make this drink feel thirst-quenching, but of course, the coconut rum and prosecco give it a bit of bite. Enjoy this fruity and bubbly installment in the Summer of Spritz series!
Why You’ll Love This Pineapple Coconut Spritz
Pineapple and coconut are a match made in heaven! There’s something about those two flavors that instantly transports me to the tropics and makes me feel like a healthy fresh-fruit-eating queen.
This pineapple coconut spritz is sweet-tart from the pineapple, while the coconut mellows it out a little bit so it’s not cloying. And I absolutely love adding some prosecco (or sparkling water!) to give it that refreshing bubbly feeling!
You can also make this drink in a large batch a couple of days ahead and then pour it over ice when your guests arrive to make your life easier.
If you’re looking for more fruity spritz recipes, try the Passionfruit Spritz, Cherry Spritz, Frozen Strawberry Aperol Spritz, or Blood Orange Strawbery Spritz from our summer series! Each one is a delicious treat!

Ingredients
This recipe calls for pineapple juice and you can use storebought or freshly made pineapple juice depending on how much time and energy you have. The remaining ingredients are all simple, so let’s get started!
- Pineapple juice
- Coconut white rum
- Fresh lime juice
- Coconut milk
- Simple syrup
- Prosecco
For garnish, use some pineapple leaves, fresh pineapple chunks, or lime!
How to Make a Pineapple Spritz
Fill a wine (or large coupe, low ball glass, etc) with ice. Add the pineapple juice, rum, lime juice, coconut milk, and simple syrup. Stir everything together and then top it with prosecco.
Garnish your spritz with pineapple leaves and a fresh pineapple chunk or lime wedge!
FAQs
Can I use fresh pineapple in this spritz?
You sure can! I use fresh pineapple chunks for garnish/a snack in each spritz, but you can incorporate it in other ways as well. Try muddling it with the coconut white rum and then strain it into your drink for extra fresh flavor.
How can I make a pineapple coconut spritz non-alcoholic?
Swap your coconut rum for coconut water and use sparkling water in place of the prosecco. You’ll have a fruity and tropical non-alcoholic spritz that anyone can enjoy!
Can I use flavored simple syrup?
That would be delicious! Our strawberry simple syrup recipe will show you how to make a flavored version – maybe you could use pineapple! If you’re someone who wants all the sweet fruity flavor I highly recommend going this route.
Serving Suggestions
Every good drink needs some sustenance to enjoy with it, so here are a few recipes that I think pair perfectly with this tropical treat!
- For an appetizer or snack, start with a light and refreshing burrata caprese or stay on theme with a pineapple mango salsa!
- If you’re going for a full-on meal, these pineapple steak tacos would be a delicious flavor pairing, but you could also go for something salty to match your fruity drink! Blue cheese burgers would be a yummy choice.
- To emphasize the coconut in this spritz, serve coconut tres leches cupcakes for dessert! Our mango ice cream recipe is also made with coconut milk, so it’d be a refreshing sweet treat to end the day!
