PINEAPPLE MOJITO
I love pineapple and I love mojito. So combining the two was a winner. When fresh pineapples are available, I like to add a tablespoon of chopped pieces to my mojito and muddle them with the mint leaves.

FROZEN PINEAPPLE MOJITO
Put the lime in the pineapple with this fun summer cocktail! Scoop the fruit from the skin to create pineapple "cups," freeze it, and blend it into a bright and refreshing play on a mojito. Or, if you're short on time, you can use frozen pineapple chunks and regular cocktail glasses.

Steps:
- Trim top of pineapple to remove leaves, but leave top in tact. Cut pineapple in half crosswise. Run a knife in a circle around inside of halves 1/2" away from the skin. Cut across core of pineapple twice, creating 4 pieces and loosening the fruit. Using a big spoon or ice cream scoop, scoop out inside of each pineapple half. Place pineapple "cups" in freezer.
- Discard core and finely chop pineapple (you should have about 4 cups). Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet tray and freeze at least 1 hour.
- Blend frozen pineapple, rum, lime juice, 1/3 cup mint, and 2 cups ice in a blender until smooth. Taste and add sugar, if needed.
- Fill pineapple "cups" with mojito mixture, reserving extra for refills. Garnish with mint sprigs and tiki drink decoration, if using. Reserve remaining mojito mixture in freezer for second serving or serve in alternate glasses.
- Do Ahead
- Pineapple "cups" can be hollowed out 3 days ahead; keep frozen. Pineapple chunks can be frozen up to 3 months ahead.
FROZEN MOJITO
Steps:
- Combine simple syrup, lime juice and mint leaves in a blender and blend until combined. Add the rum and crushed ice and blend until frothy. Pour into 2 rocks glasses and garnish with mint sprigs.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using frozen pineapple, thaw it completely before using.
- Use a good quality rum. A light or white rum is best, but you can also use a dark rum if you prefer.
- Use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice can be used, but it will not have the same flavor as fresh lime juice.
- Use a natural sweetener, such as agave nectar or honey, instead of simple syrup.
- Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
Conclusion:
The Frozen Pineapple Mojito is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new and exciting cocktail to try, the Frozen Pineapple Mojito is a great option.
