Pineapple Mojito - 3

Mojitos are one of my very favorite cocktails, and I could do endless twists on them. The simple addition of pineapple juice in this mojito makes for a fantastic addition. You will love this refreshing and simple cocktail. It is great on a hot summer day, and in the winter it will feel like a quick little escape.

Pineapple Mojito Ingredients

The classic mojito recipe is a muddling of mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup. You then top it with rum and club soda. It is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that I have spent many an hour getting to know better. Be sure to scroll to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and their measurements.

  • Mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves are key for a mojito. By muddling them, their oils are released which add flavor and aroma to the cocktail.
  • Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best for cocktails.
  • Pineapple juice: Adds the pineapple flavor.
  • Simple syrup: Gives the drink just enough sweetness to balance the tartness of the other ingredients and blends into the cold liquid of the drink better than granulated sugar.
  • Light rum: My favorite unflavored white rum to use in cocktails is Bacardi. To make this cocktail like a combination of a Piña Colada and a mojito, use coconut rum like Malibu.
  • Club soda: Adds the bubbles to the cocktail. Be sure to use fresh club soda so it is nice and fizzy. I like to keep small bottles in my pantry so I always have fresh soda for cocktails.

How to Make a Mojito with Pineapple

Step 1: Combine Simple Syrup, Lime Juice, and Mint

In a highball glass combine simple syrup, lime juice, and fresh mint. I love to use my homemade simple syrup recipe and freshly squeezed lime juice. That being said, store-bought of both could work for both!

Step 2: Muddle

Muddling is the process of lightly mashy ingredients together to help both combine them and extract the most flavor from your ingredients. In this case, we are muddling to get more flavor out of the mint. I like doing this with a cocktail muddler , but the back of a heavy kitchen tool like an ice cream scoop works great too.

Step 3: Add in Ice and Rum

Add the ice and the rum to the cocktail. You can use regular white rum in this cocktail and it is perfection. If you want to give this the vibe of a piña colada , you can add some coconut rum.

Step 4: Finish off the Cocktail

Finish everything off with some pineapple juice and a splash of club soda. The recipe calls for 2 ounces of each, but you can play around with this. More pineapple juice will make for a sweeter cocktail, but if you like your cocktails less sweet, you might want more club soda. Finally, garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a pineapple wedge.

Variations

  • Using fresh pineapple: If you want to up the pineapple flavor in this cocktail, finely dice fresh pineapple and add it when you add the mint leaves. Muddling the pineapple chunks into the syrup and lime juice will boost that flavor.
  • Use coconut rum: Give this drink a more tropical twist by using coconut rum instead of regular rum.
  • Use vodka: If rum isn’t your thing, vodka is a great swap in this cocktail.

Make a Pitcher

This cocktail can be made in a pitcher if you are hosting a party, rather than in individual cocktail glasses. Start the drink the same way by muddling the mint with the lime juice and simple syrup, but instead, do it in the pitcher. You might also consider keeping the club soda separate and allowing guests to top their own glasses.

  • 32 mint leaves or a very large handful
  • 3/4 cup simple syrup
  • 3/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cup rum
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 cups club soda
