Ingredients
- fresh mint leaves - it's easy to grow your own in a container, or purchase it packaged at the grocery store
- coconut rum - Bacardi makes a nice version
- limeade - Simply Limeade is what I recommend
- lemon-lime soda or club soda - Sierra Mist or Sprite work well. Use club soda if you are cutting back on sugar
- lime - a squeeze of fresh lime makes a big difference.
How to Make a Coconut Mojito
- In a tall glass, add 2 to 3 mint leaves to the bottom, along with coconut rum.
- Muddle the mint with the rum by using a spoon or muddler (ad)
- Add ice to the top of the glass.
- Add limeade and stir well.
- Pour lemon-lime or club soda to the top of the glass. Stir well.
- Garnish with a lime and extra mint leaves.
Recipe Tips
- You can substitute 1 ounce of lime juice and 1 ounce of simple syrup for limeade if it's not available.
- Be sure to muddle the mint with the rum to mix the flavors together.
- If you want your cocktail to be less sweet, use club soda instead of lemon-lime soda.
More Refreshing Beverages
There's something about the tanginess of lime mixed with coconut and mint that reminds you of sunny days, fun beach trips, and adventures by the sea.
Try my other refreshing beverages the next time you gather together. Cheers!
