Playa Paradise Mocktail

Playa Paradise Mocktail

May 28, 2025

Nothing says summer quite like a refreshing, fruity beverage, and Jugo’s cold-pressed juice fits the bill! Our selection of juices are packed with flavor, while the hydraulic press extraction preserves the precious nutrients and enzymes to keep you feeling your best. This healthier option is a great addition to any wellness routine.

A cold-pressed juice truly hits the spot no matter the season. Still, there’s something special about enjoying a summertime tropical libation as you soak up the sun or cool down inside. A cocktail is the obvious choice, but consider a mocktail to capture that same essence without the buzz. This alcohol-free option is more elevated than your standard beverage, and you can easily alter a mocktail recipe to suit your specific preferences.

All Jugo juices are packed with unique flavors that make for a solid mocktail base, but we’ll admit our tropical-tinged Playa is a standout. The sweet, citrus, and coconut flavors pair beautifully with warm weather while transporting you straight to the tropics during the cooler seasons.

The Playa Paradise Mocktail: Your New Summer Staple

With a well-rounded blend of sweet pineapple, fresh spinach, coconut, and a hint of apple, Playa is an all star in its own right. However, a bit of creativity goes a long way to mix up your daily wellness routine and prevent even your most delectable nutrition staples from growing stale over time.

Our Playa Paradise Mocktail recipe is a great place to start. You’ll stretch your supply of green juice even further, while just a few simple ingredients work to further elevate Playa’s powerful flavor profile.

This mocktail is like your own personal oasis, inviting a sense of enriching ease on leisurely days while acting as a refreshing boost for the busier ones.

Add Personal Flair to Your Playa Paradise Mocktail

Make no mistake: We carefully crafted this mocktail to bring out Playa’s best elements. This recipe is also the ideal foundation to further innovate, allowing you to customize as needed with all of your own unique tastes in mind.

  • Looking to take it easy on the coconut while maintaining the extra hydration and benefits of coconut water? Cactus water is the perfect alternative. It’s packed with antioxidants, electrolytes, and vitamin C and adds more sweetness with its berry-forward flavor.
  • To add a bit of fizzy freshness to the mix, you can replace the coconut water with a sparkling or seltzer alternative. Further customize your mocktail by choosing a flavored bubbly beverage.
  • The tart lime juice both complements and contrasts the sweeter flavors in our pressed juice, but using an orange (instead or in addition) preserves similar citrus elements with a less intense bite. For an additional blast of pineapple, you can use any leftover fruit from your garnish as well.
  • Ready to let loose with a cocktail? Further embrace your tropical fantasy by adding some rum into the mix! Clear rum will keep flavors crisp and sweet, while a dark rum further transforms your cocktail with notes of vanilla and spice.

Playa’s flavor profile is ideal for experimentation, and these modifications only scratch the surface. Whether you stick to the classic recipe or incorporate your own personal flair, be sure to share your Playa Paradise Mocktail with us on Instagram by tagging @ilovejugo!

Playa Paradise Mocktail

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz Jugo’s Playa cold-pressed juice
  • 2 oz coconut water (for extra hydration)
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
  • 1 tsp agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Pineapple wedge and mint sprig

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the garnish by cutting your pineapple lengthwise into halves and quarters with the skin on. Trim away the core, and slice quarters into wedges thin enough to sit on the glass rim.
  2. In a shaker, combine the Playa juice with coconut water, lime juice, and agave with ice.*
  3. Shake thoroughly to combine all ingredients before straining into a glass filled with ice.
  4. Place your mint sprig inside the mocktail leafy end up, and add one (or several) wedges of pineapple to the rim.

*For a blended Playa Paradise, combine the ingredients in a blender using a 2:1 ratio of ice to liquid ingredients (approximately 18 oz) to achieve that perfect frosty texture.
