Ingredients For This Creamy Coconut Mojito

Coconut Cream – The coconut cream in this recipe adds such a beautiful texture. However, coconut milk is also a wonderful option!

Lime – Zesty lime juice brings this coconut mojito recipe together. Save your juiced lime slices to use as a garnish!

Mint – Mint leaves are a classic in mojito recipes. They add such a refreshingly bright and wonderful flavor!

White Rum – A classic in mojito cocktails, white rum is the core of this recipe.

Coconut Rum – Things go up a notch with coconut rum, adding the right amount of tropical flavors with just a touch of sweet!

Club Soda + Simple Syrup – Club soda with simple syrup add a fizzy and lightly sweet flavor that’s unbeatable. Another option is to use your favorite ginger beer!

How to Make a Coconut Mojito

Making a coconut mojito is INCREDIBLY easy! Here’s how to make it in 5 minutes or less:

  1. Make the sugar rim.
  2. Muddle the lime and mint.
  3. Mix in the rum, coconut rum, simple syrup, and coconut cream.
  4. Pour into a glass, add ice, and fill with club soda.
  5. Give it a stir and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Making this recipe for two (or more) – One option is to make each individual drink, one at a time. Another option is to muddle and mix everything together in a cocktail shaker, then pour even amounts into each glass with ice. Add club soda and garnish!

Using ginger beer instead of club soda – While this recipe calls for club soda and simple syrup, another delicious option is to just use ginger beer instead. It adds depth and so much flavor in addition to a touch of sweetness and fizz!

Add a tiny (TINY) pinch of cayenne to your rim – Want to make things really fun? Add the tiniest pinch of cayenne to your sugar rim for just a little kick! Totally optional, but definitely next level.

TIP: This drink tends to separate, so be sure to serve it with a glass or metal straw to stir it as you enjoy!
