Pineapple Coconut Mojito Recipe


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 810 fresh mint leaves
  • Club soda (to top off)
  • Ice cubes
  • Pineapple wedge and mint sprig (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Muddle the Pineapple and Mint In a highball glass, add the fresh pineapple chunks, mint leaves, and simple syrup. Gently muddle them together with a muddler or the back of a spoon. This helps release the juices from the pineapple and the essential oils from the mint, creating a flavorful base for your mojito.

Step 2: Add the Rum and Coconut Cream Add the white rum, coconut rum, and coconut cream to the glass. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 3: Add Ice and Lime Juice Fill the glass with ice cubes and add the fresh lime juice. Stir again to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 4: Top with Club Soda Top off the drink with club soda for a refreshing fizz. Give it a gentle stir to incorporate the soda with the rest of the ingredients.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve Garnish your Pineapple Coconut Mojito with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint. This adds a festive touch and enhances the tropical presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

 

  • Muddling Tip: Be gentle when muddling the mint. You want to release the essential oils without tearing the leaves too much, which can make the drink bitter.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
  • Chill the Glass: For an extra refreshing mojito, chill your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the drink.
