Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk in egg, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Turn mixer off and add confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla, and coconut extracts. Mix on low for 1 minute then increase to high speed and beat for 3-4 full minutes. Add more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if frosting is too thick. Add salt if frosting is too sweet (I usually add 1/4 teaspoon). Frost cooled cupcakes. There may be leftover frosting depending how much you use on each cupcake. I used a Wilton #12 piping tip. Decorate cupcakes with coconut, pineapple slices, and/or a cherry.
- Leftover cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator up to 4.

Steps:
- Combine pineapple juice, cream of coconut, cane syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and salt tincture in a blender with a ½ cup of ice and blend until smooth.
- Pour into hurricane glass and garnish with pineapple slice and frond.
Tips:
- To make sure the cupcakes are moist and fluffy, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content, which results in a more tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing and making a mess in your oven.
- Bake the cupcakes at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have pineapple juice on hand, you can use a mixture of orange juice and lime juice instead.
- For a more intense pina colada flavor, use coconut extract instead of vanilla extract in the frosting.
- Garnish the cupcakes with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
Conclusion:
These alcohol-free pina colada cupcakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give these cupcakes a try!
