Print Recipe

A refreshing tropical cocktail blending fresh pineapple juice, coconut water, and dark rum with mint and lime for a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz dark rum (e.g., Myers’s or Gosling’s)
  • 3 oz fresh pineapple juice (freshly squeezed or cold-pressed)
  • 2 oz coconut water (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 oz simple syrup (homemade or store-bought, adjust to taste)
  • 2–3 oz soda water (to top off)
  • Ice cubes (crushed or cubed)
  • Pineapple wedges (for garnish)
  • Mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 10-12 fresh mint leaves in the bottom of your cocktail shaker or glass. Gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon just enough to release oils, about 20-30 seconds.
  2. Pour in 3 oz fresh pineapple juice, 2 oz coconut water, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 1 oz simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add 2 oz dark rum to the mixture.
  4. Fill your glass or shaker with about 1 to 1.5 cups of crushed or cubed ice.
  5. If using a shaker, secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. If not, stir for about 20 seconds with a bar spoon.
  6. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
  7. Top with 2-3 oz soda water and stir gently to combine.
  8. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a pineapple wedge on the rim.

Notes

Use fresh pineapple juice for best flavor; avoid over-muddling mint to prevent bitterness. Keep all ingredients cold before mixing. Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on pineapple sweetness. For a dairy-free creamy twist, substitute coconut water with coconut milk but expect a thicker drink. Store leftover pineapple-coconut-rum mixture without soda water in the fridge up to 24 hours; add soda water just before serving.
