How to Make White Christmas Mojitos

1. Muddle the Base

In a large pitcher, muddle the mint leaves with sugar and lime juice. This releases the mint’s natural oils and infuses the mixture with fresh flavor.
(Optional: Strain out the mint if you prefer a smoother drink.)

2. Build the Cocktail

Add the white rum, coconut rum, and coconut milk to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.

3. Prepare the Glasses

Fill four glasses halfway with ice.

4. Pour & Top

Pour the coconut rum mixture into each glass until they are about 3/4 full. Top with sparkling water for a refreshing, bubbly finish.

5. Garnish & Serve

Garnish each drink with mint leaves and a spoonful of pomegranate arils. Serve immediately and enjoy the snowy holiday vibes.
