Are you looking for a perfect summer drink but want to try something different than your usual? Then I would encourage you to try this very refreshing pineapple mojito! It’s very simple and you won’t regret this fresh taste of pineapple, mint, and white rum. You can also make a non-alcoholic version.
Mojito has always been one of my favourite cocktails. I mostly drink it in summer when I really appreciate its fresh minty and sparkling taste. There are of course different varieties of mojito. Usually, if you ask for mojito you get a classic drink with white rum, raw sugar, lime, and mint leaves. It’s sp easy!
I would also say it’s so easy to get addicted to these yummy cocktails! On hot summer days, I often make a big jar of non-alcoholic mojito and sip it during the day. It’s so good and it really cools me down.
This time I decided to take a slightly different path than I would normally. I found cheap pineapples – two pineapples for a price of one – in a fruit and veggie shop nearby us. We recently moved to our newhouse and I had no ideaabout this shop. But now I do and I have to go there again very soon!
If you are like me and you are a little bit crazy about pineapples and other exotic fruit (my personal favourite is passionfruit) then you will simply love this recipe for pineapple mojito.
Pineapples are one of the best fruits you can choose to eat for your health. They have so many amazing health benefits. Some of them you probbaly didn’t have any idea about! If you are interested to find out more about this amazing yellow and very sweet fruit, read this article.
I actually don’t have many recipes using pineapple on my website. You should definitely try Raw Vegan Mango And Pineapple Slices that are also my favourite treat!
What do you need to make pineapple mojito?
- Pineapple chunks. The best is to use fresh pineapple but in a case of emergency, canned pineapple chunks will do you a favour too.
- Lime, cut in wedges. If you don’t have a fresh lime, use lime juice.
- Mint leaves. Read this herb guide for more information about mint and other herbs for vegan cooking.
- White rum. Bacardi or Malibu are my favourites.
- Club soda
- Simple syrup. Pure cane simple syrup is what you need but if you can’t get liquid simple syrup, just use granulated raw (cane) sugar.
- Crushed ice
- Pineapple juice if you are making virgin (non-alcoholic) pineapple mojito.
