Fruit & Base
- 1
Prepare fruit
Peel the banana and break into large chunks. Measure 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, removing core if fibrous.
- 2
Blend puree
Place banana and pineapple chunks into a blender. Add 120 ml orange juice. Blend on high until smooth and uniform, about 30–45 seconds. If mixture is too thick, add up to 30 ml additional orange juice to reach a slightly thick but pourable consistency.
Coconut & Sweeteners
- 3
Incorporate coconut and sweetener
Add 60 ml coconut cream, 15 ml simple syrup (or honey), and 15 ml fresh lime juice to the blended fruit. Add 2 ml vanilla extract and a pinch of fine sea salt. Blend again on low for 10–15 seconds to fully emulsify and integrate flavors.

Taste and adjust
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed: add up to 10 ml more simple syrup for sweetness or up to 5 ml more lime juice for brightness.
Finish & Serve
- 5
Chill and carbonate
Fill two serving glasses halfway with ice (about 1/2 cup ice per glass). Pour equal amounts of the fruit-coconut mixture into the glasses, filling each about two-thirds full. Top each glass slowly with chilled sparkling water (about 120 ml per glass) to preserve fizz; gently stir once with a long spoon to combine.
