White Christmas Mojitos - featured image

These White Christmas Mojitos are a creamy, coconutty twist on the classic mojito—festive, refreshing, and ready in under 10 minutes. Perfect for holiday parties, they combine white rum, coconut milk, fresh lime, mint, and a bubbly finish for a cocktail that tastes like a snowy escape.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) white rum
  • 2 oz (60 ml) full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk (shake can well before using)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought, or monkfruit sweetener syrup for low-sugar)
  • 810 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz (60 ml) club soda or sparkling water
  • Ice (crushed or cubed, enough to fill glass)
  • Garnishes (optional): fresh mint sprigs, pomegranate arils, shredded coconut, thin lime slices or wheels

Instructions

  1. Place 8-10 fresh mint leaves in the bottom of your shaker or mason jar. Add 1 oz simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint for about 15 seconds to release fragrance and oil.
  2. Pour in 2 oz white rum, 2 oz coconut milk, and 1 oz fresh lime juice. Swirl gently to combine.
  3. Fill the shaker with about 1 cup ice (crushed or cubed). Seal and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until frosty and creamy.
  4. Strain the mixture into a highball or wine glass filled with fresh ice (about ¾ full).
  5. Slowly add 2 oz club soda or sparkling water to each glass. Stir gently to mix.
  6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, pomegranate arils, shredded coconut, and a lime wheel if desired. Serve immediately while icy cold.

Notes

Chill your rum, coconut milk, and glasses for the coldest, creamiest mojito. Don’t over-muddle the mint—just a gentle press is enough. Add ice and club soda just before serving to keep the drink fresh and fizzy. For a mocktail, skip the rum and add extra club soda or coconut water. Recipe is easily multiplied for a crowd—just mix in a pitcher and add bubbles last.
