A Coconut Dream in a Snow Globe
This White Christmas Mojito is my little way of bringing the tropics to the tundra. It’s creamy, refreshing, and full of coconut flavor — basically, Christmas in the Caribbean served in your favorite glass.
It’s made with just a few simple ingredients:
🌿 Fresh mint leaves
🍈 Zesty lime juice
🥥 Creamy coconut milk
🥃 White rum + coconut rum (a dynamic duo)
💦 A splash of sparkling water
✨ And a handful of pomegranate arils — for that festive, jeweled touch
You get the crisp coolness of mint and lime with the silky smoothness of coconut. Every sip tastes like snowflakes melting into sunshine.
If you’re a coconut lover, this drink is your moment. It’s tropical and cozy at the same time — the perfect Christmas party cocktail or something to sip while wrapping gifts by the fire.
Holiday Magic in a Glass
When I first made this White Christmas Mojito, it was one of those snowy nights that just begged for something fun and festive. My brother Brendan and his girlfriend had just arrived in town — perfect timing for a 5 o’clock cocktail hour. I mixed up a batch of these creamy mojitos, and they disappeared faster than the first snowflakes.
They loved how the rum and coconut milk made it smooth and indulgent without being too heavy. And honestly, who could say no to a drink topped with sparkling water, fresh mint, and ruby-red pomegranate jewels?
It’s the kind of cocktail that instantly puts you in a holiday mood — bright, creamy, fizzy, and just a touch tropical. Whether you’re hosting friends, decorating the tree, or curled up with a Christmas movie, this White Christmas Mojito fits right in.
And because I know holiday chaos is real, I’ve included two versions below:
➡️ A single-serve recipe for quiet nights by the fire
➡️ A pitcher version for parties and family gatherings
Whichever way you make it, this drink will steal the show — and maybe even your mistletoe moment.
