This vibrant drink is elevated by muddled fresh mint leaves, lending a fragrant burst of herbal freshness, while a touch of simple syrup balances the flavors perfectly. Served over a mound of crushed ice and adorned with a juicy pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint, this breezy cocktail is as visually stunning as it is delicious. Ready in just 5 minutes, the Havana Beach is your go-to recipe for capturing the laid-back essence of summer, whether you're hosting a beach-themed gathering or simply winding down after a long day. Perfect for lovers of tropical cocktails, this drink combines island flavors with a splash of elegance.
In a cocktail shaker, add white rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and fresh mint leaves.
Gently muddle the mint leaves by pressing them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their flavor. Avoid shredding the leaves.
Add crushed ice to the shaker until it's about three-quarters full.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the drink.
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with more crushed ice.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for a fresh, tropical touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Havana Beach cocktail!
