I follow Coastal Living magazine’s Instagram feed. They featured the yummiest cocktail for a Coconut Mojito that I had to try.It tastes like a suntan in a glass. Remember the days when Pina Coladas were all the rage? Well, this is her younger, hipper sister’s drink.
Here’s the link to the recipe at Coastal Living where this liquid treasure and other fun cocktail recipes can be found. I’ve provided the recipe from their site below.
6 fresh mint leaves3 lime wedges
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/4 ounces (2 1/2 tablespoons) Mount Gay white rum
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Malibu coconut rum
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) cream of coconut
Ice
1 cup chilled club soda
Garnishes: lime wedge, fresh mint leaves, pinch of grated coconut
Muddle 6 fresh mint leaves, 3 lime wedges, and brown sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add white rum, coconut rum, and cream of coconut. Fill shaker with ice, and stir vigorously until chilled. Strain mixture into a tall glass, and top with chilled club soda. Garnish, if desired.
Check out my Pinterest board for some other sips, too.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
