Base Ingredients

  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 30 ml fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 45 ml white rum
  • 15 ml simple syrup or 2 teaspoons sugar

Additional Ingredients

  • 60 ml coconut cream or coconut milk
  • Club soda to top off (about 60-90 ml)

Garnishes

  • Mint sprig
  • Lime wheel
  • Optional: coconut flakes or edible white glitter for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mint and Lime: Gently muddle fresh mint leaves with fresh lime juice and simple syrup in a glass to release fragrant oils and create a flavorful base.
  2. Add the Rum: Pour white rum over the muddled mixture and stir gently to combine the flavors.
  3. Add Crushed Ice and Coconut Cream: Fill the glass with crushed ice, then carefully layer or gently mix in coconut cream or coconut milk to create the signature snowy white appearance and creamy texture.
  4. Top with Club Soda: Add club soda to lighten the cocktail and introduce refreshing bubbles.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Decorate with a sprig of mint, a lime wheel, and optionally a dusting of coconut flakes or edible white glitter for a festive presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients like mint and lime juice for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Press mint leaves gently to avoid bitterness; do not over-muddle.
  • Crushed ice is essential to keep the drink chilled and enhance its texture.
  • Add simple syrup gradually, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  • Chill serving glasses in the fridge or freezer for extra frostiness.
  • Pour coconut cream gently to maintain the visual contrast in the cocktail.
  • To make alcohol-free, replace rum with sparkling water or soda.
  • Try variations by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh berries, or swapping herbs and sweeteners.
  • Store leftover mojito base (without soda) refrigerated up to 24 hours.
  • Freeze mojito base in ice cube trays and blend with soda for a frozen version.
  • This cocktail is best served cold; do not reheat.
