Pink Coconut Mojito Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- Large pitcher
- Muddler (or the back of a spoon)
- Measuring cups
- Stirring spoon
- Glasses for serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 4-5 limes
- 1/2 cup simple syrup or to taste
- 2 cups club soda
- 1 cup white rum
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries for garnish

Instructions
- Muddle the Mint: In a large pitcher, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
- Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup: Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Stir well to combine the mint with the lime and syrup, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Incorporate Coconut Cream: Slowly add the coconut cream to the mixture. Stir until well combined. The coconut cream should blend nicely with the mint and lime, giving it a creamy texture.
- Mix in the Rum: Pour the white rum into the pitcher, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients. This is where the cocktail gets its kick!
- Add Crushed Ice: Fill glasses with crushed ice. This will help keep your cocktail cold and refreshing.
- Top with Club Soda: Pour the mojito mixture over the ice-filled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. Top off each glass with club soda for that fizzy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each cocktail with fresh strawberries or raspberries, lime slices, and mint sprigs. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Pink Coconut Mojito!
