Pin ItWe brought a vacation to our own backyard with our pineapple garden party! One of my favorite details about the party was our pineapple mojito! They’re served in pineapple cups, which are fun to make and the mojitos are so refreshing!
Pineapple Mojito Ingredients
This tropical twist on the classic mojito is super easy to make and even better to sip on a sunny day! With just four main ingredients and a fresh pineapple purée, it’s light, fruity, and totally refreshing.
Fresh Mint: Brings in the cooling, herby flavor mojitos are known for – don’t skip it!
Pineapple Purée: Made by blending fresh pineapple (and sometimes a little mint) until smooth – it adds sweet, tropical flavor. You can also use pineapple juice if you’re short on time.
Gold Rum: Adds a warm, rich depth to balance the bright citrus and sweetness.
Simple Syrup: Sweetens the cocktail just right – check out our simple syrup guide if you want to make your own.
Lime Juice: Fresh-squeezed is a must for that signature mojito tang.
How to Make a Pineapple Mojito
This cocktail is as easy to make as it is to love – perfect for a warm evening or backyard gathering!
Garnish & Serve: Add ice, extra mint, and a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy that tropical charm!
Make the Pineapple Purée: Blend fresh pineapple with a few mint leaves until smooth. You can strain it if you want a thinner texture.
Mix the Cocktail: Add the pineapple purée, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and mint to a glass or hollowed-out pineapple. Stir well to combine.
How to Make a Pineapple Cup
To make a cup out of fresh pineapple, you’ll need to use a core to remove the middle (leave room at the bottom), and then you can cut around inside and remove it with a spoon.
Leave at least 2″ at the bottom so the cocktail stays in the cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rum is the alcohol in a mojito. You can use gold or white rum depending on the recipe.
A mojito can be sweet since rum is naturally sweet and it also has simple syrup. Finding the right balance of each ingredient is key to making them just right and not too sweet.
