Check out our full ingredients and instructions for this Perky Pineapple Mojito cocktail recipe below.
Garnishing and Alternatives
Slice up some limes and pineapple and place in your drink and on the rim, delicious! Another great idea is to free some mint leaves and place in your cocktail after, this helps the mint slowly diffuse and keep your drink cold.
Other alternatives for your cocktail you can consider are:
- You can also use lime juice instead of juicing regular limes up. Use approximately 1 oz of lime juice – taste before adding more as lime juice can be quite tart and may become overpowering.
- As for mint, you can purchase pre crushed mint if that’s easier for yourself. Consider buying leaf mint as you will want to garnish the top of your drink with some. It’s not a mojito after all without mint!
Perky Pineapple Mocktail Idea
The simplest way to turn this delicious pineapple cocktail into a mocktail is simply omit the Rum!
- Increase your pineapple juice by 1 oz.
- Increase your club soda or sparkling water by 2oz.
If you are looking to keep the rum taste for those that do enjoy the taste but are unable to drink at this time consider adding 1 oz of molasses and a drop of almond extract to your drink. Molasses works as an excellent replacement for rum, however can become overpowering so only use 1oz not two, replace pineapple rum with more juice or soda water depending on taste. Another option is coke instead of rum.
Try all three out and pick your favorite! Enjoy!
