This Cranberry Coconut Mojito is festive, rich, decadent and vegan too! Made with classic mojito ingredients like lime juice, white rum, mint leaves and sweetener in place of sugar, we added a few extras to make it truly special like this time of year.
mint leaves, lime wheel, coconut shreds, cranberries to garnish
Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle mint leaves, lime juice and sweetener. Cover with ice.
Add in coconut milk, rums and cranberry juice. Shake until shaker is cold. Strain into ice filled glasses, top with seltzer water, garnish with lime wheel, shredded coconut, cranberries and mint. Enjoy!
If forgoing coconut rum and using white rum instead:
The rest of the drink is the same, but when adding rum, skip the coconut rum, and instead add a total of 4.5 oz of white rum to the cocktail shaker. Add in 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. (This is meant for two drinks). Shake, and top with seltzer and garnishes.
Notes
For this version, we removed the coconut rum, and supplemented with more white rum. This lowers the carb count.
