Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Fresh Pineapple – 1 cup, cut into small chunks
- Coconut Cream – 2 tablespoons
- Fresh Mint Leaves – 8 to 10 leaves
- Fresh Lime Juice – 1 tablespoon
- Sparkling Water or Club Soda – 1 cup (chilled)
- Ice Cubes – as needed
- Simple Syrup or Agave Nectar – 1 to 2 teaspoons (optional, to taste)
Optional Ingredients
- White or Dark Rum – 1 to 2 ounces (optional for alcoholic version)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple and Mint: Cut fresh pineapple into small chunks or cubes. Gently tear the mint leaves to release their aroma without bruising excessively, preserving their bright flavor.
- Muddle the Mint and Lime: Place the mint leaves, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) in a glass or cocktail shaker. Gently muddle to blend flavors and release the mint oils, creating the mojito’s signature zing.
- Add Pineapple and Coconut Cream: Stir in the pineapple chunks and a generous dollop of creamy coconut cream, combining tropical flavors with a luxurious texture.
- Mix in Sparkling Water or Club Soda: Slowly pour chilled sparkling water over the mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to maintain fizz and balance flavors without flattening the drink.
- Add Ice and Optional Rum: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill and refresh. If desired, add a splash of white or dark rum and stir gently again to combine the ingredients.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprig of fresh mint, a pineapple wedge, or a lime wheel. Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy, creamy, tropical delight at its best.
Notes
- Use fully ripe pineapple for the juiciest, sweetest flavor.
- Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness and maintain freshness.
- Chill the coconut cream and sparkling water beforehand to keep the float refreshingly cool longer.
- Adjust sweetness by adding or reducing simple syrup or agave nectar according to taste.
- Serve immediately to preserve the fizz and fresh flavors of the float.
