White Christmas Mojito Ingredients
- 2 oz. coconut cream
- 1 1/2 oz. white rum
- 12 fresh mint leaves, plus 1 sprig for serving
- 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- Ice
- Seltzer, for topping off
- Pomegranate seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Blend cream and rum: In a blender, combine the coconut cream and white rum, blending until frothy. Alternatively, you can use a handheld mixer to achieve the same frothy texture.
- Muddle mint mixture: In a Collins glass, place the fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and granulated sugar. Muddle these together gently to release the mint’s aromatic oils and blend the flavors.
- Assemble the drink: Fill the glass with ice, pour the creamy rum mixture over the ice and mint mixture, then top off with seltzer to add a refreshing sparkle.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by garnishing with a sprig of fresh mint and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for a festive and colorful presentation. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase coconut cream with a little extra seltzer.
- Ensure the coconut cream is well chilled before blending for a frothier texture.
- Gently crush the mint leaves during muddling to avoid bitterness.
- Pomegranate seeds add a festive touch but can be omitted or substituted with fresh berries.
