White Christmas Mojitos are a festive and refreshing twist on the classic mojito, blending zesty lime, fresh mint, and the tropical flavors of coconut rum and coconut milk, topped with sparkling water and garnished with vibrant pomegranate arils for a perfect holiday cocktail.

Ingredients

For the Mojito Base

  • 3/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup packed mint leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup white rum
  • 1/2 cup coconut rum
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk

For Serving

  • Sparkling water
  • Pomegranate arils
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Muddle Mint and Mix: In a large pitcher, muddle the 1/4 cup packed mint leaves with 1/2 cup sugar and 3/4 cup lime juice to release the mint’s essential oils and combine the flavors thoroughly.
  2. Optional Straining: For a smoother drink without mint leaves floating in it, strain out the muddled mint leaves from the mixture using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Mix Alcohol and Coconut Milk: Stir in 1/2 cup white rum, 1/2 cup coconut rum, and 1 cup canned coconut milk into the mint-lime sugar mixture until well combined.
  4. Prepare Glasses: Fill four glasses halfway with ice cubes to chill the drinks properly.
  5. Pour Mojito Mixture: Pour the coconut rum mixture into each glass until it is about three-quarters full, leaving room for sparkling water.
  6. Top with Sparkling Water: Fill each glass the rest of the way with sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a handful of pomegranate arils for a festive, colorful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer your mojito sweeter or less sweet.
  • Straining the mint leaves is optional based on texture preference.
  • Canned coconut milk adds creaminess, but you can substitute with coconut cream for a richer taste.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Pomegranate arils add a festive look and a pop of flavor; they can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rums and increase sparkling water slightly.
