Adjust sweetness – Add more or less simple syrup to taste.

Muddle gently – Don’t overdo it or the mint can turn bitter.

Chill your glasses – For extra frosty presentation and flavor.

How to Make Pineapple Coconut Mojito Mocktails

Step 1: Muddle the pineapple and mint
In a shaker or sturdy glass, gently muddle the pineapple chunks with the mint leaves to release juices and oils.

Step 2: Add the liquids
Pour in the coconut water, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.

Stir everything together until well mixed.

Step 3: Fill with ice
Add a generous amount of ice cubes to chill the mixture and keep it crisp.

Step 4: Top with sparkle
Pour sparkling water or club soda over the top until the glass is full and fizzing.

Step 5: Garnish and enjoy
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge to each glass. Serve immediately while bubbly.

Variations / Substitutions

Make it a cocktail – Add a splash of white rum for a traditional mojito twist.

Try flavored sparkling water – Coconut or lime flavors work well.

Use frozen pineapple – Great for a slushy-style mojito.

Swap coconut water for coconut milk – For a creamier texture.

Infuse with basil – A fresh alternative to mint.

Storage & Leftovers

Best served fresh – The fizz fades quickly after mixing.

Prep ahead tip – Mix the base (everything but the sparkling water) and store in the fridge up to 1 day.

Leftover pineapple? – Use in smoothies, fruit salad, or freeze in ice cube trays.
