Instructions

Place toasted coconut on a small plate. Rim the lip of a tall cocktail glass with honey and press into the toasted coconut.
Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into glass. Use a muddler (or bottom of a wooden spoon) to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice.
Fill the glass 3/4ths of the way full with ice. Pour the lime juice and rum over the ice. Top it off with pineapple coconut juice. Gently stir.
Garnish with extra lime, pineapple, and mint on a skewer if you’re feeling fancy! Serve immediately.

Notes

Make a Large Batch in a Pitcher:

Muddle: Use a large pitcher and muddle the mint and lime together for 6 to 8 mojitos.
Combine: Do not add ice, instead add all other ingredients and give the pitcher a good stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 24 hours.
Serve: When ready to serve, give everything a good stir and pour into glasses filled with ice.

Make it Sweeter: Pineapple coconut juice is naturally sweet, but you could add a splash of simple syrup if preferred. Too sweet? Add club soda or coconut water for part of the pineapple coconut juice.

Non-Alcoholic: Eliminate the rum and top the juices with a little lemon-lime or pineapple soda.

Coconut Pineapple Juice: If you can’t find it locally, make your own by mixing 50% pineapple juice and 50% coconut water.

Creamy: While mojitos are not traditionally creamy, I have added a splash of coconut cream (from the top of a can of coconut milk) to add a creaminess.
