Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Muddler, shaker, measuring jigger, glasses, strainer

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For Each Cocktail:
  • 1 ½ oz white rum
  • 1 oz coconut cream canned or fresh
  • 1 oz lychee juice canned or fresh
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice about half a lime
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1-2 teaspoons sugar or simple syrup, to taste
  • Club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh lychee optional, for garnish
  • Mint sprig optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Muddle the Mint and Sugar: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Using a muddler, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Avoid tearing the leaves too much; you want to release the flavor without making a mess.
  • Add Juices and Coconut Cream: Pour in the fresh lime juice, lychee juice, and coconut cream. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
  • Shake with Ice: Add the white rum and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into Glasses: Fill two glasses with ice cubes and strain the cocktail mixture over the ice, dividing evenly between the glasses.
  • Top with Club Soda: Pour club soda into each glass to your liking, giving the drink a nice fizz. Stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh lychee and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
  • Variations
  • Mocktail Version: Replace the white rum with extra club soda for a non-alcoholic version. Use more lychee juice for sweetness.
  • Flavor Additions: Add a splash of pineapple juice or swap coconut cream for coconut milk for a lighter texture.
  • Fruit Twist: Muddle other fruits like strawberries or raspberries along with the mint for a fruity flavor explosion.
