Pineapple Mojitos (with Simple Syrup recipe)

Pineapple Mojitos are full of fresh pineapple, mint, and lime! They are bursting with flavor and make the best summer cocktail!

Now that we are in the midst of summer, I love coming up with new cocktails to enjoy in the warm weather. These Pineapple Mojitos cross all the T's and dot all the I's as the best summer cocktail. They are full of delicious pineapple, mint, and lime flavors, and are seriously refreshing! If you need a signature cocktail for the summer, this is it!

I am a big fan of mojitos! I have tried all flavors and I have shared several on Domestic Superhero. You can find versions or Blueberry Mojitos, Blackberry Mojitos, and Mixed Berry Mojitos all on Domestic Superhero. 

How to make Pineapple Mojitos:

It's easy! With only a handful of steps, these come together in no time!

• Add the lime juice, some pineapple, mint, and simple syrup to the cup. Mash with a muddler or back of a wooden spoon to combine/release flavors of the ingredients. 
• Add ice, then top with rum and club soda. Stir gently to combine the flavors! Enjoy!

No Simple Syrup? No problem! It's a SUPER simple recipe!

How to make Simple Syrup:

• You can make a basic simple syrup using 1:1 ration of water to sugar.
• Try my popular mint simple syrup, which is PERFECT for mojitos!
• Boil the water/sugar mixture in a small sauce pot, then let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until thickened. 
• Use it in mojito and other cocktail recipes! 
• Store simple syrup in a container and refrigerate. You may notice sugar crystals forming at the bottom of the container after some time, just heat it up and stir it to dissolve. 

What type of Rum is best for a mojito?

White or silver rum is going to be the go-to rum for Mojitos. In a pinch you could use brown or darker rum, but a traditional mojito is made with white rum. If you want to add flavor to this Pineapple Mojito, you could opt for a white flavored rum, such as pineapple rum or coconut rum!

How to make a Virgin Mojito?

It's easy! Follow the instructions below, but just leave the rum out. You could replace the rum with something like Sprite if you want, but you could easily just fill the glass with club soda! I would suggest adding a bit more mint and pineapple to boost the flavor.

Can I make a Mojito with other types of alcohol?

The short answer, yes. While it won't be a traditional 'mojito', the classic cocktail tastes great made with vodka or tequila as well.
