Coconut Pineapple Mojito
It’s National Mojito Day! I’ve been toying with this recipe for a while, finally perfected it, and there it sat in my Drafts until I realized what today was! Clearly, it’s been a week- but never fear- I’m getting it done, and sharing this delightful cocktail with you!
The Myth Coconut I used in this recipe has quickly become one of my favorite zeroproof spirits. I was never a rum fan, and probably haven’t touched coconut rum since I was 20-something. But once I tried Myth, I fell in love. This is the first cocktail I’m making with the stuff, but it definitely won’t be the last. It’s fab, and I’ll be adding it to drinks all summer long.
A note that this cocktail is a little more labor intensive than my usual. I often go for a simple spirit/soda kind of thing. (When I drank, my go to was always vodka/soda.) But I love pineapple and mint, and this drink is worth the effort (which honestly isn’t all that much). Give it a whirl, and let me know what you think in the comments!
