Ingredients

For one Lime Coconut Mojito, gather:

2 oz white rum
1 oz coconut cream
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
6-8 fresh mint leaves
2 oz club soda
Ice cubes
Lime wedge and mint sprig for garnish

Use fresh ingredients for the best taste. The coconut cream adds a creamy texture and tropical flavor. Adjust the simple syrup to your desired sweetness level.

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, add mint leaves and lime juice. Muddle gently to release mint oils.
Add rum, coconut cream, and simple syrup. Fill with ice.
Shake well for 10-15 seconds.

Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
Top with club soda and stir gently.
Garnish with a lime wedge and mint sprig.

Serve right away to enjoy the drink at its freshest. The coconut cream may settle, so give it a quick stir before sipping.

Notes

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for a group. For a mocktail version, replace the rum with coconut water or more club soda.

Store leftover coconut cream in the fridge for up to a week. Shake well before each use.

For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except club soda with crushed ice. Pour into a glass and top with club soda.

Experiment with flavored rums or add a splash of pineapple juice for extra tropical flair.

Tasting Notes

The Lime Coconut Mojito offers a refreshing blend of flavors. Its taste is sweet and tangy, with a smooth coconut finish.

The drink starts with a bright lime zest on the tongue. This citrus kick gives way to cool mint notes. The rum adds warmth and depth to the mix.

Coconut milk brings a creamy texture and tropical flair. It balances the sharp lime and mint flavors. The result is a well-rounded sip that’s not too sweet or sour.

Ice keeps the drink cold and slightly dilutes the strong flavors. This makes for an easy-drinking cocktail. The mint leaves add a fresh aroma with each sip.

The Lime Coconut Mojito is perfect for hot days. It’s light enough to enjoy by the pool or at a barbecue. The mix of flavors makes it stand out from regular mojitos.

Substitute

A Lime Coconut Mojito can be made with different ingredients if the original ones aren’t available. For the rum, vodka or gin can work well. White rum is best, but light rum or even dark rum can be used in a pinch.

No limes? Try lemons instead. The drink will have a different flavor, but it will still be refreshing. Lemon juice can replace lime juice in equal amounts.

Fresh mint is key to a mojito. If mint isn’t on hand, basil can be an option. It gives a different but still pleasant herbal note to the drink.

For a non-alcoholic version, use coconut water or coconut-flavored sparkling water in place of rum. This keeps the tropical taste while making it alcohol-free.

Sugar syrup can be swapped for honey or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners blend well with the other flavors.

Here’s a quick substitution guide:

Rum → Vodka or gin
Lime → Lemon
Mint → Basil
Sugar syrup → Honey or agave
Coconut rum → Coconut water (for non-alcoholic)

These swaps let you enjoy a similar drink even if you’re missing some ingredients.
