Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the coconut milk with the pineapple juice first before adding the lemonade and vodka. You can substitute the vodka with rum for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add extra sparkling water or soda. Adjust sweetness with additional lemonade or a splash of simple syrup if desired.

Serve the Chee Chee Punch in chilled glasses for a refreshing treat, especially on warm days. Top each glass with a splash of 7-Up for added fizz. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers like Artichoke Chips or a fresh fruit platter. Consider serving it at summer gatherings, barbecues, or tropical-themed parties for a festive touch.
