Ingredients

Scale

1 oz vodka
1 oz coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
1 oz Irish cream (such as Baileys)
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz cream of coconut (or coconut milk for a lighter version)
1 cup ice
Chocolate syrup, for glass drizzle (optional)

Pineapple wedge, chocolate curls, or toasted coconut, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Glasses:
Swirl chocolate syrup along the inside of two chilled glasses. Place them in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to set the drizzle and keep your drink icy cold.
Blend the Cocktail:
In a blender, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and ice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Serve and Garnish:
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, chocolate shavings, or toasted coconut. Serve immediately and sip in tropical bliss.

Notes

Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan Irish cream and ensure your coffee liqueur is dairy-free. Coconut cream works perfectly in place of regular cream.
Want it thicker? Swap out the ice for frozen pineapple chunks or toss in a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-luxurious version.
No cream of coconut? You can use canned coconut milk, but you may want to sweeten it with a touch of honey or simple syrup to match the classic flavor.
Serving a crowd? Easily scale this recipe up and blend in batches.

Mocktail version: Replace the alcohol with coffee syrup, chocolate syrup, and coconut milk for a kid-friendly treat.
