Step 1

In a cocktail shaker or large glass, combine the fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint just until wilted (about 15–20 seconds); avoid tearing the leaves.

Step 2

Add the rums, coconut milk, and a pinch of sea salt. Shake or stir vigorously until smooth and frothy (this helps emulsify the coconut).

Step 3

For one serving: Fill a cocktail glass with ice and strain or pour the mojito mixture over it. Top with club soda or sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.

Step 4

For two servings: Fill two smaller cocktail glasses with ice. Strain or pour the cocktail mixture evenly between the two glasses. Top each glass with club soda or sparkling water and give a gentle stir.

Step 5

Garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime wedge or slice, if desired. Enjoy chilled!
