  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  • Gather all your ingredients and measure them out. This will make the process smooth and quick.
  • Step 2: Blend the Base
  • In a blender, combine the fresh mint leaves, white rum, coconut cream, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes.
  • Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
  • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more ice cubes.
  • Step 4: Taste and Adjust
  • Taste the mixture. If it’s too sweet, add a splash of lime juice. If you prefer it sweeter, add more simple syrup. Blend again to mix.
  • Step 5: Serve
  • Using a cocktail shaker, pour the blended mixture into chilled glasses. If you want, you can strain it for a smoother texture.
  • Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
  • Garnish with a few mint leaves and a sprinkle of coconut flakes on top. Let me show you how I make this drink stand out visually and taste-wise!
  • Variations
  • Fruit Infusion: Add fresh fruit like pineapple or mango for a fruity twist.
  • Daiquiri Slush: Add more ice for a frozen version.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the rum with coconut water or pineapple juice for a refreshing mocktail.
  • Vegan Option: Ensure that your coconut cream is dairy-free; coconut milk works as a great substitute.
