PINEAPPLE COCONUT MOJITO

These Pineapple Coconut Mojitos are so gorgeous and really make happy hour happy!! I am so very excited to be sharing this new drink with y’all.

My favorite cocktails are rum based cocktails. Most people seem to go for a margarita or a vodka something or another. While I enjoy a good margarita from time to time (on the rocks with salt please!), I am loyal to rum 99% of the time.

I was looking for a jar of pineapple juice last week (to make my favorite Boozy Piña Colada No Bake Pie) and I came across a jar of pineapple coconut juice. It was on sale, so I went ahead and picked it up.

I loved it so much, I decided to use it to combine my two favorite cocktails, a piña colada and a mojito, into one grand cocktail — a Pineapple Coconut Mojito!

P.S. If you are a pineapple & coconut lover, you MUST try this Twinkie, Pineapple & Coconut Cake this Summer. I know it sounds crazy, but it is SO dang good!


INGREDIENTS:

  • honey
  • toasted coconut
  • 8 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (2 oz) white rum
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) pineapple coconut juice

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place toasted coconut on a small plate.
  2. Rim the lip of a tall glass with honey and press into the toasted coconut. Set aside.
  3. Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into glass.
  4. Use a muddler (or bottom of  a wooden spoon) to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice.
  5. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the lime juice and rum over the ice. Top it off with pineapple coconut juice.
  6. Gently stir. Garnish with extra lime, pineapple, and mint on a skewer if you're feeling fancy!
