A creamy yet refreshing twist on the classic mojito, the Coco Mojito introduces the velvety sweetness of coconut. It’s a bright, beach-inspired cocktail that perfectly balances zesty lime with cool, crushed mint.
The Essentials
- 1 oz Torani Coconut Syrup
- 1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1–2 oz Light Rum
- 3–4 Fresh Mint Sprigs
- 1–2 oz Sparkling Water (or Club Soda)
Garnish: A fresh mint crown and an optional lime wheel
Preparation Steps
- Infuse the Mint: In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh mint sprigs and the coconut syrup. Gently muddle the mint to release its aromatic oils into the syrup without over-bruising the leaves.
- Shake and Chill: Add the light rum and lime juice to the shaker. Fill with a generous handful of ice and shake vigorously until the exterior of the shaker feels frost-chilled.
- The Pour: Strain the mixture into a chilled tumbler or cocktail glass filled with fresh ice.
- Effervescent Finish: Top the drink with a splash of sparkling water for a crisp, bubbly finish. Garnish with a vibrant sprig of mint and serve immediately.
