Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup sugar
  2. Zest of 2 limes
  3. 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, plus torn leaves for garnish
  4. 1 1/2 cups coconut water, cold
  5. 1 cup lime juice (about 8 juicy limes)
  6. 1/2 cup white rum
  7. 1/4 cup coconut rum
  8. Best-quality lime club soda, cold

Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar, lime zest and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring a few times until the sugar is dissolved. Chill completely before making the mojitos.
  2. Add the mint and 1/4 cup of the chilled lime syrup to a pitcher; muddle with a wooden spoon to bruise the mint. Add the coconut water, lime juice, white rum and coconut rum and stir to combine. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. Fill four glasses with ice, then fill by three-quarters with the rum mixture. Top off with lime club soda. Garnish with torn mint and serve.

These were great. I tripled the recipe for our Fourth of July party. It’s a lot of limes to squeeze ! I microwaved them slightly which made them easier to squeeze and then added some bottled lime juice as well to get the correct amount. Nellie and Joes Key lime juice is very good !

This recipe was delightful! I have been looking for a lime and coconut summer drink and this one fit the bill!

Amazingly refreshing! Perfect flavor combo.

I love it just with a little less lime. It was a little bitter for my taste.
