Ingredients

  • 16 whole fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup sweetener of choice
  • 4.5 oz white rum
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 4 oz full fat coconut milk
  • 2 oz diet cranberry juice
  • Ice
  • 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.
