Ingredients

Scale

Cocktail Base

  • 3/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup white rum
  • 1/2 cup coconut rum

Creamy Element

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk

Toppings and Garnish

  • Sparkling water, to top off
  • Pomegranate arils, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mint Syrup: Combine the lime juice, sugar, and packed mint leaves in a bowl or shaker. Muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint flavor and dissolve the sugar.
  2. Add the Rums: Pour in the white rum and coconut rum to the mint-lime mixture, stirring to blend all ingredients evenly.
  3. Incorporate the Coconut Milk: Slowly stir in the canned coconut milk for a creamy texture, mixing until smooth and well combined.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Fill glasses with the mojito mixture over ice and top off each with sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz. Garnish with extra mint leaves and sprinkle pomegranate arils on top for a festive appearance and a burst of color.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best bright and tangy flavor.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar to your taste.
  • For a lighter version, reduce the amount of rum or replace some rum with more sparkling water.
  • Ensure the coconut milk is well shaken or stirred before adding to prevent separation.
  • This cocktail is best served chilled and freshly prepared for maximum flavor and texture.
