Ingredient Notes and Variations

• Coconut Milk: Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a rich, creamy texture. For a lighter version, use lite coconut milk.
• Lime Juice: Fresh is best! It brightens up the creaminess and balances sweetness.
• Mint: Fresh mint leaves bring that signature mojito flavor. Muddle gently to release oils without bitterness.
• Sweetener: Maple syrup adds a subtle caramel note. You can use honey or skip altogether if your coconut milk is sweet.
• Club Soda: Adds fizz and lightens the drink. You can also use unflavored sparkling water.

• Stir the drink gently after adding soda to keep it bubbly
• Garnish right before serving for the freshest look

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using mint extract instead of fresh leaves—fresh mint is essential for flavor
• Skipping the stir—without mixing, the coconut milk may separate
• Not adjusting sweetness—taste before serving and adjust to your liking

• Use clear mugs or highball glasses to showcase the layers

Make-Ahead Tips
