Pineapple Coconut Mojito Mocktail Recipe

Tropical, refreshing, and delightfully fizzy this Pineapple Coconut Mojito Mocktail is a sophisticated blend of flavors perfect for summer gatherings or a quiet evening wind-down. With the classic mojito base reinvented through creamy coconut and sweet pineapple juice, this alcohol-free version delivers complexity and balance without compromise. It’s hydrating, naturally sweetened, and made with fresh ingredients that elevate every sip.

Ingredients List

• 1 cup pineapple juice (preferably cold-pressed)
• 1/2 cup coconut water (unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons coconut cream (well-stirred)
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
• 10–12 fresh mint leaves
• Sparkling water, to top (chilled)
• Crushed ice
• Pineapple wedges and mint sprigs for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Gently muddle using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the oils from the mint. Do not over-muddle, as that may cause bitterness.

Step 2: Build the Base

To the muddled mint and lime, add the pineapple juice, coconut water, and coconut cream. Stir until the coconut cream is fully integrated and smooth. If desired, add honey or agave syrup to adjust sweetness.

Step 3: Shake or Stir

If using a shaker, add crushed ice and shake briefly. If preparing directly in a glass, stir the mixture well to chill and blend the flavors.

Step 4: Assemble the Drink

Fill serving glasses with crushed ice. Strain or pour the mixture evenly into the glasses, leaving space for sparkling water.

Step 5: Top and Garnish

Top each glass with chilled sparkling water to add effervescence. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail spoon.

Storage Instructions

This mocktail is best served fresh, but the base mixture (before adding sparkling water and ice) can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving. Do not add ice or soda until serving to preserve freshness and fizz.

Suggestions

• For a Creamier Version: Add an extra tablespoon of coconut cream or blend with a few chunks of frozen pineapple before straining.
• Spice it Up: Muddle a thin slice of fresh ginger or a small piece of jalapeño with the mint for a subtle kick.
• Party Pitcher: To serve a crowd, scale up the recipe and mix in a large pitcher. Add mint and pineapple wedges for visual appeal and serve over ice.

Seasonal Relevance

This mocktail shines in spring and summer, especially during warm afternoons, beach parties, poolside events, and tropical-themed gatherings. Its cooling, hydrating qualities make it ideal for hot weather, though it’s delicious year-round when you crave an island-style refreshment.

FAQs

Can I substitute coconut water with something else?
Yes, you can use plain water or soda water, but it will lose the subtle coconut undertone that enhances the tropical profile.

What type of mint is best for this mocktail?
Spearmint is traditionally used in mojitos and works perfectly for this recipe. Avoid peppermint, as it may overpower the drink.

Can I make it into a frozen drink?
Absolutely. Blend all ingredients with ice until slushy for a frozen pineapple coconut mojito mocktail.
