Coconut Mojito is a punch-style cocktail made with rum, lime juice, and sugar. It’s a refreshing summer drink that has a tropical vibe to it. The history of the Coconut Mojito has been traced back to Cuba in the early 1900s. It is believed that it was popularized by Ernest Hemingway who was spending his summers in Havana at the time. This cocktail was first introduced to Americans when President John F Kennedy returned from his Cuban trip and had one at a party thrown in his honor.
It is a refreshing cocktail that has become one of the most popular drinks in the last few years. Coconut products are gaining popularity due to their high nutritional value, and mojitos are no different.
