I love mixing up this Coconut Mojito with Pineapple because it is a real easy way to enjoy a tropical cocktail. Fresh pineapple chunks give the drink a natural sweetness and add vitamin C which is good for your immune system.

I use around 10 fresh mint leaves in my recipe which not only adds a refreshing aroma but also provides some antioxidants. I find that 2 tablespoons of coconut cream gives that creamy touch and some healthy fats that help absorb vitamins.

I add 1 oz of coconut rum and 1 oz of white rum which makes this cocktail just right for those cocktail drinks alcoholic events like Labor Day parties. The juice of 1 lime adds a tangy boost of vitamin C and a few teaspoons of sugar help balance the flavors.

A splash of soda water and plenty of ice cubes finish the drink so its chilled and fizzy. It is a straight forward recipe that reminds me of a fun twist on traditional Pineapple Coconut Margarita recipes mixed with ideas from Tito’s Pineapple Coconut Mojito.

Enjoy mixin it up!

FAQ

Q: What if I don't have fresh pineapple?

A: You can use canned pineapple in a pinch but fresh gives the best burst of flavor.

Q: Can I use another sweetener instead of sugar?

A: Sure, you can try honey or maple syrup. Just keep in mind that these will alter the flavor a bit.

Q: How important is it to muddle the mint properly?

A: Very important! A good muddle helps release the mint oils. Don't overdo it though, or you'll get bitter bits.

Q: Can I make a virgin version of this drink?

A: Yup, you can just leave out the rums or substitute them with extra soda water. It'll still be tasty and refreshing.

Q: Is it necessary to use both coconut cream and coconut rum?

A: Not really, but using both gives that rich coconutty flavor. You can skip one if you want a less creamy or less boozy version.

Coconut Mojito With Pineapple Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Fresh pineapple chunks: If you dont have fresh pineapple, canned pineapple chunks works in a pinch though they might be sweeter so cut back a bit on the sugar.
Fresh mint leaves: If mint is out, try basil leaves. They give a different twist but still keep it fresh.
Coconut cream: You can use full-fat coconut milk instead. Just simmer it a little to thicken it so it mimics coconut cream.
Coconut rum: If you dont have coconut rum, add a few extra ounces of white rum with a drop or two of coconut extract.
White rum: In a bind, another light rum or even a light spiced rum might work. It gives a little variation but keeps the tropical vibe.

Pro Tips

1. Try mashing the mint and pineapple chunks together real well so all the flavor comes out but be careful not to crush the mint too much or it can turn bitter
2. Add sugar slowly and then taste as you go. It’s easy to over do it so start with a little since you can always add more if you need it
3. Always use fresh lime juice if you can cause bottled stuff just doesn’t give that same zesty kick
4. When you mix with ice, add it gradually if you cant wait to sip your drink, otherwise it might water it down too much if you mix it too long
