Coconut Key Lime Mojitos

Quinn D

Coconut Mojitos are the perfect tropical summer crowd-pleaser. Coconut Mojitos are everything you’re looking for in a beachy drink. They’re fruity, sweet, and creamy; but not as heavy as a piña colada or many other tropical drinks. They’re balanced and easy to sip thanks to the addition of lime and refreshing mint.

 

Ingredients (makes 1):

  • A couple small bunches of mint (about 6-12 leaves depending on your preference - save some for garnish)
  • 4-5 mini key limes (This recipe also works with regular limes if you just use about 2 limes instead)
  • White Rum
  • 1 can of cream of coconut  (We like CocoLopez)
  • Crushed Ice

 

Muddle in a chilled glass:

  • A large handful of mint
  • About 4 key limes quartered 

 

Shake in a cocktail shaker:

  • 2 oz white rum
  • 3/4 oz cream of coconut
  • Ice

 

Strain the coconut and rum mixture into the glass with the muddled limes and mint. Stir thoroughly and add lots of crushed ice to the glass. Garnish with a small bunch of fresh mint and a lime wedge. 

*For a lighter drink top with a little bit of lime club soda
