Easy Coconut Mojitos

I want to officially wish you a happy solstice! These first summer weekends are worth savoring (and sipping).

Ingredients 

• 1.5 oz white rum
• 4 oz coconut water
• .25 oz simple syrup (optional)
• 3 sprigs fresh mint
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• ice
• sparkling water

Method

In a mixing glass, muddle mint and 2 lime wedges until fragrant. Fill the mixing glass with ice, add the simple syrup, rum, and coconut water. Stir until the mixture is well combined. Top it off with sparkling water and another squeeze of lime. Pour into a cooler or rocks glass, garnish with mint sprigs, and enjoy!

Mocktail Suggestions

Omit the alcohol and still partake! These refreshing drinks make a fun alternative for those that don’t imbibe—play around with the sparkling water to simple syrup ratio for a balance that’s right for you.
