This easy-to-make drink combines sweet, juicy pineapple chunks muddled with fragrant fresh mint leaves and tangy lime juice, creating a vibrant, fruity base. A touch of granulated sugar adds balanced sweetness, while smooth white rum lends a delightful kick. Topped with fizzy club soda and served over ice, this cocktail is irresistibly crisp and invigoratingβperfect for summer gatherings, poolside lounging, or simply treating yourself. Ready in just 10 minutes, this Pineapple Mojito is beautifully garnished with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious.
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the pineapple chunks, fresh mint leaves, and granulated sugar.
Cut the lime into quarters and squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the glass. Add the squeezed lime wedges to the mixture.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the mixture to release the juices and oils from the pineapple and mint. Avoid over-muddling the mint to prevent bitterness.
Add the white rum to the glass or shaker and stir well to combine.
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes and strain the pineapple mojito mixture over the ice.
Top off with club soda and gently stir to incorporate.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
