Ingredients

  • 6 mint leaves + more for garnish
  • ½ lime
  • 1 tabelspoon sugar
  • 2 ounces cream of coconut
  • 2 ounces coconut milk
  • 2 ounces rum
  • 1 ounces lime juice
  • ice
  • 5 ounces club soda

Instructions

  • First, cut the lime into wedges. Add the lime and mint to your cup and lightly press down with a muddler or pestle.
  • Add the sugar, cream of coconut, and coconut milk, and stir for 15 seconds so the sugar can dissolve.
  • Add the rum, lime juice, ice, and club soda. Stir, garnish, and serve. Buen provecho!

Notes

  • Sugar- I used sugar to sweeten the mojito, but you can also use a simple syrup if you have some. You can also use honey if you like.
  • Rum- Bacardi is the preferred rum used in mojitos, but in this particular one, you can also use a coconut-flavored rum. I love the DonQ Coconut.
  • Club soda- I have always used club soda to make any mojito, but a good substitute can be a lemon-flavored soda.
  • Lime juice- I like to add this last so I can avoid it from splitting the coconut milk.
  • Yield. This makes 1 12-ounce drink.
