Ingredients
Drink Ingredients
- 2 oz. coconut cream
- 1 1/2 oz. white rum
- 12 fresh mint leaves, plus 1 sprig for serving
- 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- Ice, as needed
- Seltzer, for topping off
- Pomegranate seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Blend the Cream and Rum: In a blender, combine the coconut cream and white rum. Blend until the mixture is frothy and well combined. If you don't have a blender, you can use a handheld mixer to achieve a similar frothy texture.
- Muddle the Mint Mixture: In a Collins glass, add the fresh mint leaves, fresh lime juice, and granulated sugar. Use a muddler to gently bruise the mint leaves to release their aromatic oils and dissolve the sugar.
- Assemble the Cocktail: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the frothy coconut cream and rum mixture over the ice. Top off the drink with seltzer to add a refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with a fresh mint sprig and sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top to add a festive touch and a burst of flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor impact.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase coconut cream and seltzer proportions.
- Ensure mint leaves are fresh to provide a vibrant aroma and flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best frothy texture and freshness.
