Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup full-fat coconut cream
- 1 ounce simple syrup (about 2 tablespoons), or to taste
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Step 1: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the sliced strawberries, fresh mint leaves, and fresh lime juice. Muddle them gently but firmly to release the juices and essential oils from the mint.
- Step 2: Add the full-fat coconut cream and simple syrup to the muddled mixture. Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk to ensure the coconut cream is well incorporated and creates a smooth, creamy base.
- Step 3: Fill your serving glass generously with ice cubes. Pour the strawberry-coconut mixture over the ice.
- Step 4: Top the glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda. Gently stir once or twice to combine the ingredients without losing too much fizz.
- Step 5: Garnish your Pink Coconut Mojito with an extra strawberry slice, a lime wheel, and a fresh sprig of mint before serving immediately.
Notes
- For peak freshness, enjoy your mocktail immediately; however, you can prepare the muddled strawberry, mint, lime, coconut cream, and syrup base ahead of time and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, adding ice and sparkling water just before serving.
- Since this mocktail is designed to be a frosty treat, reheating is definitely not an option – just keep it perfectly chilled and refreshingly cold!
- Serve this vibrant mocktail in a tall glass with extra ice, perhaps garnished with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on the rim or a fun tropical umbrella for an added touch of paradise.
- For the creamiest texture, make sure your full-fat coconut cream is well-chilled before mixing, and always muddle your mint gently to release its aromatic oils without introducing any bitterness.
