Coconut Mango Mojitos
Description
The Coconut Mango Mojitos recipe starts by blending ripe mango with fresh lime juice to create a smooth mango puree. Fresh mint leaves are muddled in the bottom of a glass with mint simple syrup, releasing herbal notes and sweetness as the base.
Ice is added to the glass followed by coconut rum, mango puree, lime juice, and club soda. Stirring combines the ingredients, balancing the bright citrus acidity with mango sweetness and the subtle tropical flavor of coconut rum. An extra mint sprig garnishes the drink, enhancing aroma and freshness.
The recipe notes suggest adjusting the mint syrup and rum quantities based on sweetness and strength preferences. Using a mango rum variant can further enhance the tropical profile.
Ingredients
- 6-8 mint leaf fresh
- 2 1/2 ounces of mint simple syrup
- 1 ounce of coconut rum
- 1 1/2 ounces club soda
- 1-2 ounces of mango puree
- lime juice of one
Instructions
- To make the mango puree, combine 1 peeled + chopped, ripe mango in a food processor (or high speed blender) with the juice of 1 lime, and process until smooth (or at least almost smooth).
- In the bottom of a glass, add 1 ounce of simple syrup and the mint leaves. Muddle with a muddler or use the clean bottom of something blunt, like a screwdriver! Add ice to the glass, and pour rum, syrup, mango puree, lime juice and club soda over top. Mix with a long spoon or knife and serve with an additional sprig of mint.
- Note: depending on the sweetness of your fruit, you may want to add more/less simply syrup, so I suggest tasting as you go. Same with the rum – add more if you like your drinks strong. Malibu also makes a mango rum that you could combine with traditional coconut rum.
Notes
- Adjust mint syrup and rum amounts to taste based on sweetness and desired strength.
- Consider using mango-flavored rum to enhance the tropical flavor.
- The fresh mango puree can be blended until fully smooth or slightly textured as preferred.
