    Unbelievably tasty is a perfect description of the flavorful Chi Chi cocktail!

    Whether you spell it Chi Chi, Chichi, or Chi-Chi, we call it coconut-pineapple perfection!!

    This tasty tropical cocktail is closely related to a Pina Colada, with the rum switched out for vodka instead! Change approved!

    Both my husband and I enjoy this cocktail drink when unwinding. We've enjoyed not only some fabulous summer sunsets but also crazy lightning storms and heavy snowfall while sitting with a chi chi in hand!

    • 📋 Recipe

    🍹 Ingredients

    • 1 cup Ice
    • 4 ounces Pineapple Juice
    • 1 ounce Cream Of Coconut (See ingredient notes below.)
    • 1 ½ ounces Vodka
    • Maraschino Cherries & Pineapple Slices (Optional garnish for serving.)

    Ingredient Notes

    Please note that the cream of coconut is a must-have. Coconut cream, coconut milk, and other products do not work as a like-for-like substitute for cream of coconut in cocktails.

    I love Coco Lopez brand cream of coconut, which I purchase at my local liquor store. Coco Real is my next-best pick!

    Also, pineapple-flavored vodka can also be used to make your cocktails. If you already love to use pineapple rum in your Pina Coladas, you're likely to love mixing your chi chis with a great pineapple vodka too!

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🍸 Instructions

    1. Fill. Pour 1 cup of ice into your blender.
    2. Pour. Add the 1 ½ ounces of vodka, 4 ounces pineapple juice, and 1 ounce cream of coconut.
    3. Blend. Mix on high speed until your cocktail is smooth.
    4. Serve. Pour into a cocktail glass (hurricane or other) then garnish with a pineapple slice and maraschino cherry and enjoy!

    🥂 Cocktail Tips & Variations

    • Alternatively you can use a cocktail shaker and then strain over crushed ice for a sharper drink with bolder flavor(s).
    • Be sure you are using cream of coconut, not coconut cream.
    • Mix the cream of coconut vigorously before using. *It tends to separate in the can.
    • For an interesting twist try different vodka flavors like pineapple, coconut, mango, strawberry, orange, or vanilla. *There are TONS of flavored vodka varieties available, some of the cream versions are really tasty with this recipe too!
