Enjoy a Fresh Pineapple Mojito made with Bacardi Superior Rum! They are easy to make with only a few simple ingredients.
You may enjoy mojitos when you go out to restaurants, but they are really easy to make at home.
This famous cocktail from Cuba has become very popular worldwide in recent years.
And you only need a few basic ingredients to make them.
I like to use Bacardi white rum in my mojitos.
Bacardi is also perfect for using in other drinks such as rum punch, daiquiri, and pina colada.
They even make different flavors of rum such as Banana.
And it’s so versatile, you can add it to your favorite drinks such as Blackberry Ginger Mint Cocktails and Sparkling Watermelon Agua Fresca.
I buy Bicardi at my local Kroger store, Ralphs.
I love mojitos with all sorts of different foods.
And they are great for entertaining.
You can make a DIY taco bar and sip them by the pool or in your back yard.
Everyone will be happy when they’re eating chips with guacamole and salsa and delicious tacos while sipping a fresh pineapple mojito.
Or grill up some black bean burgers to enjoy with Curried Potato Salad and Summer Hearts of Palm Salad.
They go with just about everything!
What goes in a Fresh Pineapple Mojito?
A mojito is traditionally made with white rum, sugar, lime, mint, and soda water.
For this pineapple version, we’ll be making a simple syrup to sweeten the beverage made from chopped fresh pineapple, coconut sugar, and water.
You can make the syrup ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to use.
Typically I only use a little sugar, but the amount depends on how sweet your pineapple is.
