Ingredients
- Juice of 1 lime
- 8 mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons white rum
- 1 tablespoon coconut rum
- 1/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- Sparkling water for topping
- Pomegranate arils for serving
Instructions
- Muddle the Base: In a glass, muddle the lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves until the mint leaves are broken down and release their aroma, infusing the mixture with fresh herbal notes. Then, fill the glass halfway with ice to chill the cocktail.
- Blend the Rums and Coconut Milk: In a blender, combine the white rum, coconut rum, and unsweetened coconut milk. Pulse until smooth and well mixed, creating a creamy and tropical blend that balances the tartness of the lime and sweetness of the sugar.
- Assemble the Drink: Pour the rum and coconut milk mixture over the ice in the glass. Stir gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Top and Garnish: Add sparkling water to the top of the glass to add a refreshing fizz. Garnish with additional mint leaves and pomegranate arils to enhance both the presentation and flavor profile. Serve immediately and enjoy your White Christmas Mojito!
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- You can adjust the sugar quantity depending on your preferred sweetness.
- Unsweetened coconut milk keeps the drink creamy without adding extra sugar.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and increase coconut milk with a splash of coconut water.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sparkling water’s fizz.
