How to make a pineapple coconut mojito
This coconut pineapple mojito is super simple to shake up, and you don't even need a blender. Here's what to do:

- Place mint and lime juice in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Muddle means to crush the mint leaves with a muddler or back of a wooden spoon to release their flavored oils.
- Pour in the pineapple juice, coconut water, and rum. Shake well.

- Divide mojito mixture between two tall glasses filled with ice.
- Top with lime-flavored sparkling water for an extra boost of flavor.

Serve with a garnish of fresh pineapple wedges, lime slices, and fresh mint sprigs. So what are you waiting for? Go on, you know you want to give it a try! Have one for me too. Cheers!
Recipe variations to make it your own
There are so many fun ways to personalize this tropical cocktail:
- Creamy Version - Want something more like a piña colada? Use lite coconut milk, regular coconut milk, coconut cream, or cream of coconut in place of coconut water. Choose your level of creaminess and sweetness.
- Coconut Rum - Swap regular rum for coconut rum to double up on that tropical coconut flavor.
- Add a Sweetener - Like it sweeter? A splash of simple syrup or honey will do the trick.
- Frozen Version - Replace the pineapple juice with frozen pineapple chunks, skip the sparkling water, and blend everything up for a slushy-style drink.
- Sugar Rim - For a little sparkle and sweetness, dip the rim of each glass in lime juice or pineapple juice, then in sugar or a sugar-lime zest blend.
