Refresh your summer with a tropical twist by making a Pineapple Coconut Mojito Float, a delightful treat combining juicy pineapple, creamy coconut ice cream, fresh mint, lime juice, and sparkling water. This refreshing float is perfect for hot days, offering a layered flavor experience that doubles as a boozy cocktail or a creamy dessert. Easily adaptable for non-alcoholic, vegan, or customized variations, it’s ideal for poolside relaxation, outdoor barbecues, or summer parties.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Pineapple Chunks – 1 cup
  • Coconut Ice Cream or Coconut Sorbet – 2 generous scoops
  • Fresh Mint Leaves – 8 to 10 leaves
  • Lime Juice – 1 tablespoon
  • Sparkling Water or Club Soda – 1 cup
  • White Rum (optional) – 1 to 1.5 ounces
  • Simple Syrup or Agave Nectar – 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Fresh Ingredients: Muddle fresh mint leaves with lime juice and simple syrup in your glass to release those refreshing oils and incorporate the flavors.
  2. Add Pineapple Chunks: Drop in a handful of juicy pineapple pieces to soak up the minty-lime mixture and create a tropical base for the float.
  3. Scoop Coconut Ice Cream: Place generous scoops of coconut ice cream or sorbet over the muddled ingredients, allowing it to slowly melt and blend with the other flavors.
  4. Pour Sparkling Water and Rum: Slowly add sparkling water to fill the glass and float the ice cream, then stir gently to combine; add rum if desired for an adult twist.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with extra fresh mint leaves and a pineapple wedge for a picture-perfect presentation. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon for enjoying both the drink and the creamy dessert.

Notes

  • Fresh Is Best: Always use fresh pineapple and mint for the brightest, most vibrant flavor.
  • Don’t Over-Muddle: Muddle mint just enough to release oils, avoiding bitterness from crushed stems.
  • Chill Everything: Keep your pineapple, mint, lime juice, and sparkling water well chilled to maximize refreshment.
  • Balance Sweetness: Adjust the simple syrup to your taste, remembering that coconut ice cream adds natural sweetness.
  • Use a Tall Glass: This makes layering the ingredients and presenting the float much easier and more visually appealing.
