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!

How much in advance can you make this recipe?
Hey Brittany,
You can do everything a day or two in advance, just wait to add the sparkling water until you are ready to serve. Cheers! xT

This is such a pretty – and more importantly-a delicious drink! The balance of flavors is perfect. I love it.
Hey there,
Wonderful! I am thrilled to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for giving it a go! Happy New Year!? xTieghan
Tried this recipe 3 times and curdled each time. Why is this happening?
Hey there,
So sorry to hear this. Is there anything you might be adjusting? Let me know how I can help! xTieghan
Looks great!
Thanks Patricia!
Hi again Tieghan,
I just noticed in the single serving size you use unsweetened coconut milk and in the 6 serving size it was sweetened coconut milk. Does it make a difference?
Thank you again as I just asked a question about the sparkling water—sorry for the confusion.
Hi Susan,
Either one will work, just use depending on the level of sweetness that you like:) xTieghan
Good morning Tieghan,
I want to make these for Christmas Eve but would like to know if I could use a coconut sparkling water? I found LaCroix has one and didn’t know if I could use it or just the plain sparkling water.
I’ve never used sparkling water before and want to make sure I get the right one.
Many thanks for all your wonderful recipes and beautiful presentation!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family ?!!
Hey Susan,
Sure! I bet that would be super yummy! I hope you love the recipe. Merry Christmas! xTieghan
This was absolutely delicious! I made four of these for myself and and friends and it was great and loved by all! It’s a must try this holiday season ?
Hey Patricia,
Thanks so much for trying this recipe out, I am thrilled to hear that it was enjoyed. Happy Holidays! xTieghan
What size of cocktail glass did you use? Do you have to blend it?

This is my favorite- so yummy!
