Celebrate the holiday season with this refreshing White Christmas Mojito, a festive twist on the classic mojito featuring mint, lime, and a creamy coconut rum blend, topped with sparkling water and festive pomegranate arils for a delightful and vibrant cocktail experience.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Mojito Base

  • 3/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup white rum
  • 1/2 cup coconut rum
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk

For Serving

  • Sparkling water, to top off
  • Pomegranate arils, for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Muddle Mint and Mix: In a large pitcher, gently muddle the packed mint leaves with the granulated sugar and lime juice using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint flavors and dissolve the sugar.
  2. Optional Strain: For a smoother drink, strain the muddled mixture to remove the mint leaves, or leave them in for extra flavor and garnish.
  3. Add Rums and Coconut Milk: Stir in the white rum, coconut rum, and canned coconut milk until well combined, creating a creamy and tropical mojito base.
  4. Prepare Glasses: Fill four glasses halfway with ice cubes to chill the drink properly.
  5. Pour Mojito Base: Pour the coconut rum mixture into each glass until they are about three-quarters full.
  6. Top with Sparkling Water: Fill the remaining quarter of each glass with sparkling water to add a fizzy finish.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and pomegranate arils for a festive look, then serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled lime juice can make the drink less vibrant.
  • If coconut milk is too thick, shake or stir well before mixing to ensure it blends smoothly with the rums.
  • Pomegranate arils not only add color but a slight tartness that complements the mint and lime.
  • This recipe yields four servings, perfect for holiday gatherings.
