Because all Christmases should be white.
Or at least that’s my thinking. I’ll never fully understand you guys out there who travel to warm places for the holidays, that’s just not me. I am all about the very snowy white Christmas, and I am pretty excited because as I type this, it’s snowing! Yeah! What’s kind of odd is that while today’s drink is very white and festive, it’s actually the most tropical of all the Christmas Drink Saturday drinks yet. Guys, say hello to this creamy coconut white Christmas mojito!
Full of…
…fresh mint
…lime juice
…white rum
…coconut rum
…coconut milk
…sparkling water
…pomegranate arils (for topping – because you know I love a good garnish!)
I’m just going to put it out there that in order to love this drink, you have to love coconut because this is a very coconutty drink. I’m personally all about coconut, so the more the merrier! This drink is simple as can be, and perfect for all your holiday parties. When I made the Pomegranate Palomas a few weeks ago a lot of you were asking for the measurements to make a large batch, so today I’m giving both the measurements for a single drink and a pitcher. Yup! Just trying to make your holidays a littler easier…and apparently a little boozier too!
Here’s my quick run-down of this white Christmas mojito. This drink is creamy, fizzy and full of yummy coconut and lime flavors, basically it’s my dream drink, I just LOVE how festive and EASY it is. My brother Brendan and his girlfriend Lyndsie rolled into town Thursday night, just in time for the 5 o’clock cocktail hour, so these were their cocktail of the day. They of course loved them 1) they pretty much love anything with a little rum and 2) they are both coconut loving people…especially after their trip to Thailand. <–jealous.
It was snowing really hard (it has been all week), so these were the perfect thing to cap off a bitter cold night off. A little tropicalness in the middle of a freezing cold snowy night! Alright, so Christmas Drink Saturday #4 is a wrap…any guesses what #5 and #6 are going to be? Hint, one plays off some inspiration from my hometown Cleveland, Ohio, and the other is going to be Santa’s bestest friend. Get excited!

Can you do either the white rum OR coconut rum, and not the other?
Or does it make it too sweet and/or not enough “coconutty”?
HI! I recommend using just the white rum if you would only like to use 1 rum. That will be great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan ?
I am planning to make this virgin because I’m pregnant. Since I will be eliminating so much liquid, what can I substitute to prevent it from becoming too thick? Thanks so much-can’t wait to try this!!
Hey Tara! I recommend subbing with more sparkling water. That will be just great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan ?
This looks delicious! I love coconut and mojitos are my jam!!! What brand/type of coconut milk do you recommend? Is the kind that’s used to make pina coladas good or do you use something else?
I like to use Thai Kitchens coconut milk. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan ?
They all look spectacular.
Thank you Lou!
What did you use for sparking water? I am super excited to try!!
I used La Croix sparking water. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan ?
Awesome! Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
I just made thumb it’s chilling in the fridge, I can’t wait to drink this tonight for Christmas Eve!
That is awesome! I hope you loved this drink, thank you!
Could I just add the sparkling water to the punch bowl to make serving easier?
Yes, that should be great! Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Holiday’s 🙂
The flavor is delicious but the coconut milk gets curdled when I pour it over ice. Is there any way to prevent this?
HI! What brand coconut milk are you using? I have found brands to vary. I use Thai Kitchens. Also, sometimes the thickness of the milk can be to blame. You can try using a carton of refrigerated coconut milk, which will be smoother in texture. Please let me know if you have other questions. Happy Holidays ? 🙂
Where can I find these glasses??
These are from Anthropologie, but I bought them last year and I dont believe they carry them anymore. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Holiday’s ? 🙂
Is it possible to make a virgin version of this cocktail? If so, with what should I replace the rum?
Yes, of course! You don’t need to replace the rum with anything, just simply leave it out. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Happy Holiday’s ? 🙂
Hello! I am throwing an Xmas Party next weekend. I will be having self served beverage dispenser that holds 1.75 gallons. How can I make this recipe in a larger amount. If you could help me with the recipe to fit for 1.75 gallons I’d great appreciate it.
Hi Crystal. I tried to measure this out for you, but I am not exactly sure they are correct. I used an online calculator, but I would double check the measurements as well.
4.6 cups lime juice
1.2 cups mint leaves
1.2 cups sugar
2.3 cups white rum
1.2-2.3 cups coconut rum
4.6 cups coconut milk
I hope this helps you out. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Can I make this tonight and keep refrigerated for my dinner Party tomorrow night?
Of course! Just be sure to add the sparkling water right before serving. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! :
I made these yesterday for a tailgate and they were AMAZING! Received rave reviews and everyone wanted the recipe!
I am so glad everyone loved these Brooke! Thank you!
Love coconuts mojitos. What brand did you use for both rums?
Hi! I use Malibu Coconut rum and Bacardi. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Thanksgiving! ?
