Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Vodka
Adds alcohol and a sharp, clean bite that balances the sweet fruit.
Cream of coconut
Adds sweetness, body and a creamy richness to the blended drink.
Blueberries
Provide the main fruit flavour and colour of the drink.
Vanilla ice cream
Adds creaminess and cold body, giving the frozen drink a smooth, thick texture.

  3. Peachabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Coconutthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against vodka, cream, pineapple, vanilla. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
