Reviews
My husband and I followed the recipe exactly, and it was just spectacular. I wouldn’t change a thing! We used Cruzan Coconut Rum.
I made this recipe on July 4. I thought it was OK, my family did not like. I might try again with less rum.
This recipe is sooooo good! I used Bacardi coconut rum and I strained the mixture because the coconut tend to separate. This was so yummy and smooth. I highly highly recommend even to those that normally don’t drink tropical drinks.
I love mojitos and I love coconut. As soon as I saw this recipe this morning on TV, I rushed to the store to buy the ingredients. It is truly great, you can taste every flavor. We will serve tonight to our guests for a jamaican dinner.
