Ingredients
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)
- 8–10 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.
