Minty, creamy, and just a bit effervescent, this coconut mojito is perfectly balanced. While a traditional mojito is made with mint, lime, rum, sugar, and sparkling water, this cocktail recipe adds coconut milk for a smoother texture and tropical taste! Or just remove the alcohol and you have a refreshing mocktail!
