Ingredients
Scale
For the Mojito Base
- 3/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup packed mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup white rum
- 1/2 cup coconut rum
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
To Serve
- Sparkling water
- Pomegranate arils for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Muddle the Mint and Mix: In a large pitcher, muddle the mint leaves with sugar and lime juice carefully to release the fresh mint oils and flavors into the mixture. This is the flavor foundation of your mojito.
- Optional Straining: For a smoother texture without mint leaf pieces, strain the mixture to remove the muddled mint leaves before proceeding.
- Prepare the Glasses: Fill four serving glasses halfway with ice. This chills the drink and keeps it refreshing.
- Combine Mojito and Rum Mixture: Pour the combined coconut rum mixture mixed with the lime, sugar, and mint into each glass until they are about 3/4 full, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
- Add Sparkling Water and Garnish: Top off each glass with sparkling water for effervescence. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle pomegranate arils on top for a festive pop of color and a hint of tartness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup or adjust to taste.
- The optional straining step ensures a smoother drink but can be skipped if you enjoy the texture of muddled mint.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best bright and tangy flavor.
- Pomegranate arils add both color and a subtle crunch, enhancing the festive look.
- Adjust the amount of sparkling water depending on how strong or light you want your mojito.
- This cocktail can also be made ahead and refrigerated (before adding sparkling water and ice), but serve fresh for the best fizz.
