The Pineapple Mojito is a tropical delight that combines the zesty flavors of a traditional mojito with the sweet, juicy goodness of pineapple. Perfect for summer gatherings, backyard barbecues, or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon, this vibrant drink is sure to impress your guests and tantalize your taste buds.
Just like the name implies, Pineapple Mojito is a tropical twist on the classic mojito. Part Mojito, part Piña Colada, this pineapple mojito is like a magic potion to keep you hanging on all through summer. Refreshing pineapple juice, combined with my easy Simple Syrup recipe, mint, and lime makes this mojito one of the most fragrant and flavorful cocktails I’ve ever created!
Pineapple Mojito Ingredients
Here are the ingredients that make up this tropical mojito. For the full recipe including all measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Fresh mint leaves: A key start to the mojito, the mint leaves are muddled to release their essential oils, which infuse the drink with a cool, crisp taste that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple and the tanginess of the lime.
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is a must for any mojito. It provides a tart, citrusy kick that balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Simple syrup: Sweetens the mojito without leaving any gritty sugar at the bottom of the glass. It is so easy to make your own with just sugar and water!
- Pineapple juice: Buying pineapple juice is easier to prepare in a pinch, although you could certainly chop and juice the fresh fruit too.
- Coconut rum: You’ll need a good quality coconut rum like Malibu. This tropical twist gives the mojito a smooth, beachy vibe. It also makes to-die-for Coconut Rum Mojitos and Pina Colada Rum Punch.
- Club soda: Brings the fizz to the drink! It dilutes the drink slightly, making it more refreshing and easy to sip. I always keep small bottles of club soda in my fridge so I have fresh soda for cocktails.
