Description
A refreshing and vibrant Pink Coconut Mojito, perfect for hot days or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about ½ lime)
- 2 teaspoons white sugar or simple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut milk (full-fat preferred for creaminess)
- ½ cup pink lemonade or pink dragon fruit juice or cranberry juice
- ½ cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- Crushed ice (lots!)
- Fresh mint & lime slices for garnish
- Optional (for alcoholic version): 40 ml (1.5 oz) white rum
Instructions
- In a tall glass, add mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice. Lightly press with a muddler or spoon to release mint oils (do NOT crush to a paste).
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir to dissolve sugar.
- Add the pink lemonade (or cranberry/dragon fruit juice).
- Fill the glass all the way with crushed ice.
- Top with sparkling water for fizz. Stir gently to swirl the colors but keep the ice fluffy.
- Add fresh mint sprigs and a straw. You can also add a lime wheel on the rim.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the white rum.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar/syrup according to your taste.
