Wanna know the easiest way to wow your dinner party guests? Pineapple cups! These are so easy to make. I’m so excited to show you how! And I’ll give you two yummy daiquiri recipes to fill your cups with, but spoiler—anything that’s blended with rum is gonna be wonderful!
I researched all the different ways to remove the inside of the pineapple and there are methods that don’t need a tool. But this tool works AWESOME, and I found one on Amazon for only $7.99
with prime shipping—so I would highly recommend it (I bought mine locally and it was a lot more than $7.99). It makes it super easy and quick to remove all the pineapple while keeping the skin intact and it even slices it for you.
Tip—be sure not to go too deep. On one of my pineapples (I made two, just to practice) I punctured a hole in the bottom on accident.
When you are done, you just pull the slices out…
and cut the core out, and you have a perfect pineapple cup!
Next I cut my slices into fourths and froze them. When making smoothies or frozen cocktails, I try to freeze some of my ingredients so I don’t have to use any ice and it has more flavor.
One last thing…cut a little v out of the top and you have a place for your straw!
Pineapple Coconut Daiquiri, serves one.
*this recipe is less sweet and you can taste the rum more
1 slice of lime (skin removed)
3 mint leaves
2 cups frozen pineapple
2 scoops ice cream (I used Pineapple Coconut Haagen-Dazs—so good!)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup coconut chips
1.5 ounces rum (I used dark rum)
Blend all ingredients and serve in your super cute pineapple cup!
Pineapple Strawberry Daiquiri, serves one.
*this recipe is more sweet
2 cups frozen pineapple
1 cup frozen strawberries
2 scoops vanilla frozen yogurt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1.5 ounces light rum
Blend all ingredients and serve in your super cute pineapple cup!
Are you adding this to your weekend list? Cheers, friends! xx. Elsie

Fantastic! I just bought two pineapple’s, making this today!
this is such an amazing idea, I always felt like the pineapple skin was so underrated!
Like it with coconut milk too!
I watched a youtuber used that tool before, but then i couldn’t find it anywhere. Thank you so much for adding that link. You’re my hero. I will definitely try your 2 recipes. You are so thoughtful with the sweet thing.
This is an amazing idea! I love the idea of using the pineapple as the cup and well it’s hard to go wrong with rum!
I bought a pineapple “core & slice” months ago, (from Walter Drake magazine) & seeing this recipe — NOW, I AM going to use it. Your recipe sounds scrumptious !! I am looking for more recipe ideas & I know just where to look – – in Bloglovin, along with all the card ideas. Thanks so much for keeping all us “Gals” busy. I even got a quilt idea & made a pattern to use up all the boxes of material I have, in the closet !! (And “I” wasn’t interested in a computer ? ? ? )
Oh my gosh these sound amazing!
This looks so refreshing and delicious!

I’d probably go for the middle route of slightly sweet & slightly rummy. This looks incredible & beautiful. :]
