Tips for the Best Coconut Mojito Mocktail

Press the mint softly with a spoon so it doesn’t get bitter from crushing the leaves too much at once.
Use thick canned coconut milk for the best creamy taste and rich tropical coconut flavor possible in every single sip.
Keep ingredients cold before mixing so your drink stays cool without getting too watery from ice melting too fast.
Serve right away after making to keep the fizz and fresh mint taste at its best for drinking and enjoying.
Stir gently when adding soda so you don’t lose all the fizzy bubbles that make this drink so special.

Variations and Substitutions

Use lemon instead of lime for a different sour taste that’s just as good and refreshing for hot summer days.
Mix in pineapple juice for more tropical sweetness that goes great with coconut milk base and tastes like vacation paradise.
Try maple syrup instead of simple syrup for natural sweetness with more complex flavor notes that taste really good together.
Use coconut water instead of milk for a lighter drink with fewer calories and less richness, but still tropical taste.
Add fresh berries like strawberries for color and extra fruity summer taste that’s really good and makes drinks look pretty.
Try different herbs like basil instead of mint for a new flavor that’s different but still tastes fresh and good.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

Make mint syrup up to three days early and keep it covered in your cold refrigerator for easy drink making.
Mix the base ingredients without soda and store for up to one day before serving to guests at your party.
Don’t add soda until you’re ready to serve, or it will lose all its fizzy action that makes drinks taste.
Keep mint fresh by storing it in water like flowers, so it stays green and tastes good for days.
