Discard the margaritas, and appreciate a reviving Coconut Mojito for your Cinco de Mayo ... or on the other hand any day ... tasting. Such a delightful blend of crisp mint, lime, and coconut! Beside gin and tonics, one of my preferred warm-climate sippers is a tall, invigorating mojito.
A tasty customary Cuban mixed drink, mojitos are a straightforward blend of only five essential fixings ~ mint, crisp lime juice, sugar, white rum, and club soft drink. Maybe it's the effortlessness of the beverage that makes me cherish it to such an extent! Or on the other hand maybe it's the absolutely invigorating mix of new mint and lime juice. Be that as it may, whatever it is, love them I do.
With simply those couple of basic advances, we would all be able to appreciate an absolutely scrumptious, totally reviving, astoundingly refreshing Coconut Mojito.

Coconut Mojito ~ Ditch the margaritas, and enjoy a refreshing Coconut Mojito for your Cinco de Mayo ... or any day ... sipping. Such a delicious combination of fresh mint, lime, & coconut!
Ingredients
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 to 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1 oz. cream of coconut (The stuff you find in the drink mixers section of the grocery store, not coconut milk.)
- 3 oz. light rum
- club soda or sparkling water
- lime wedges, mint, and sweetened flaked coconut for garnish, if desired
Directions
- Place mint leaves, granulated sugar (I find the coconut mojito plenty sweet enough with just 1 teaspoon sugar), lime juice, and cream of coconut in a tall sturdy highball glass. For better dissolving, use superfine sugar if you'd like. With a cocktail muddler or the back of a sturdy spoon, press and gently twist the mint leaves against the side of the glass. Stop muddling when the mint is bruised and fragrant, but not yet torn, as tearing the mint too much can create a bitter taste.
- Add 3 ounces white rum. Fill the glass 3/4 full with ice cubes or crushed ice. Fill the remainder of the glass with sparkling water or club soda. Stir thoroughly.
- Garnish with lime wedges, mint, and a sprinkling of coconut if desired, serve, and enjoy!
