Scale
Base Ingredients
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 lime, cut into wedges

- 1 cup white rum
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup club soda

Garnish

Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Lime: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime wedges.
- Add Sugar and Muddle: Sprinkle the sugar over the mint and lime, and using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mixture to release the mint oils and lime juice without tearing the mint leaves too much.

- Mix Ingredients: If using a shaker, shake the mixture well for about 15 seconds to combine all the flavors. If using a glass, stir well with a long spoon, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour into Serving Glass: Pour the mixture into a serving glass filled with ice, if you used a shaker.
- Add Club Soda: Top off the drink with club soda to add fizz. Adjust the amount based on your desired strength and taste.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lime wedges to enhance the presentation.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your White Christmas Mojito!
Notes
- Adjust sugar to your preference for sweetness.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture or light coconut milk for a lighter drink.
- If you don’t have a mallet, use the back of a spoon to muddle the mint and lime gently.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit white rum and add extra club soda or coconut water.
- Always use fresh mint leaves for the best aromatic flavor.
