Nothing says summer quite like coconuts and rum, and this Coconut Mojito Cocktail is the epitome of summer! It’s so refreshing, you will imagine yourself drinking straight from a fresh coconut in the middle of the Caribbean!
I swear that every drink I have craved lately has to do with a song I’ve recently heard somewhere. Just recently, I have shared a Tequila Sunrise, which was the inspiration behind the Eagles mega hit with the same name. I got the country song “Watermelon Crawl” stuck in my head for a week after making this delicious Watermelon Vodka Fizz, and now I’ve got the line “put a little liquor in my coconut water” from Thomas Rhett’s awesome summer song, “Vacation” now that I’ve made this Coconut Mojito. That’s not necessarily a bad thing…all of these delicious summer drinks have me in total vacation mode, and I’m loving it! The latest song inspired cocktail is made with coconut milk instead of coconut water, but it’s soooo refreshing that I could drink them all day…I’ll just have a couple though!
