Sweet, luscious, and a refreshing summer cocktail, the coconut mojito is a fantastic twist on the original mojito. The recipe includes all the classic mojito ingredients—rum, lime, mint, and soda—and adds cream of coconut for a creamy, tropical spin.
When shopping, keep in mind that this recipe is designed for cream of coconut. It is sweetened and thicker than coconut cream, which is a viable substitute with an additional sweetener. Coco Lopez and Coco Reàl are popular brands ideal for coconut cocktails, including the piña colada.
Use your favorite light rum for this tropical cocktail (coconut rum is great, too). Raw sugar adds a rich depth that marries the rum, mint, and lime flavors with the coconut. Unlike most mojitos that are muddled in the glass, this cocktail is shaken and strained to ensure the thick coconut ingredient is thoroughly mixed into the drink. That also eliminates most of the mint from the glass, but you may still want to skip the straw and sip this drink through the lime zest and sugar rim.
