Coconut Mojito

Nothing says summer like this mojito cocktail with a tropical twist!

Coconut Mojito - PictureTheRecipe com It’s finally warming up here in the Pacific Northwest. The last traces of snow on the mountains are disappearing….which means it’s time to get planting!

After a long day of gardening and planting my favorite herbs and veggies, I kicked back on the porch with a copycat coconut mojito I had first tasted at Benihana in Minneapolis over a year ago. It just seemed like the perfect drink to kick of the summer with its refreshing mint, tangy lime and creamy sweet coco-nutty goodness. mmmmm…..

Coconut Mojito- PictureTheRecipe Close your eyes when you take a sip of this refreshing cocktail and you’ll be transported to a Caribbean beach with turquoise blue waters and palm trees swaying in the light breeze.  It’s the next best thing to a tropical vacation.

Even though it’s a simple cocktail mix…I still did a step-by-step to show you just how easy mixing your own cocktails can be. Do let me know in the comments below if you happen to try or like this recipe :-) 

Enjoy…but drink responsibly! Coconut Mojito Recipe by PictureTheRecipe com Part-1 Coconut Mojito Recipe by PictureTheRecipe com Part-2

Instructions
  1. - Tear the leaves of 4-5 sprigs of fresh mint and add them to a glass.

  3. - Muddle the mint and lime wedges to release more flavor.
  4. - Add 2-3 tablespoons of cream of coconut, 1 shot of light rum and 1 shot of coconut rum (plain rum works too if you don't have coconut flavored rum) and stir it all together well.

    Wanting to make a pitcher of this. Have you ever tried? Would I need to alter any ingredients other than quadrupling etc?

      I have made a pitcher of this cocktail keeping the ratios the same and leaving out the club soda, which I used to top off the glasses and it turned out great.
