Sips & Tips
Technique
The coconut cream makes this richer than a standard mojito. Stir well to emulsify. Crushed ice is essential — it chills fast and creates that frosty glass look.
Balance
The lime juice needs to work harder here to cut through the coconut's richness. Don't skimp on it. The mint adds freshness that keeps it from being too heavy.
