Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz. coconut cream: Adds creamy texture and sweetness, mimicking a snowy look
- 1 1/2 oz. white rum: Provides a light alcoholic base without overpowering flavors
- 12 fresh mint leaves: Adds a cool, refreshing flavor essential to mojitos
- 1 sprig fresh mint: Used as a garnish for aroma and presentation
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice: Balances the sweetness with bright acidity
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar: Enhances sweetness and helps muddle the mint
- Ice: Chills the drink and maintains freshness
- Seltzer water (to top off): Adds effervescence and lightens the cocktail
- Pomegranate seeds (for garnish): Provides a festive pop of color and tartness
Instructions
- In a blender or using a handheld mixer, combine the coconut cream and white rum. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Notes
- Chill coconut cream in advance for better frothing.
