What’s the best coconut cream to use for a White Christmas Mojito?

For the creamiest and most festive texture, use unsweetened coconut cream , not coconut milk or cream of coconut. Brands like Thai Kitchen or Savoy provide rich consistency without added sugar, allowing you to control the drink’s sweetness with lime and sugar.

Can I make a White Christmas Mojito without alcohol?

Absolutely. To make a non-alcoholic White Christmas Mojito , simply omit the rum and replace it with coconut water or sparkling lime water . You’ll still get the creamy texture and refreshing mint-lime combo, with all the festive feels and none of the booze.

How can I make a batch of White Christmas Mojitos for a party?

To serve a crowd, multiply the ingredients by the number of servings (e.g., 6 or 8). Blend the coconut cream and rum in a large pitcher , then prep individual glasses with muddled mint, lime, and sugar. Add ice, pour the coconut-rum mix, top with seltzer, and garnish with mint and pomegranate seeds just before serving to keep it fresh and bubbly.
