Coconut Mojito
This Coconut Mojito is light, refreshing, and it doesn't have any coconut milk! It's made with coconut syrup, which gives the cocktail that true tropical coconut flavor without having to deal with the drink separating. It's as easy as a classic mojito, and it's the perfect drink for hot summer days!

Instructions
- Add diced lime, mint leaves, and coconut simple syrup to a tall glass.

Notes
If you make your own syrup, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 14 days or in the freezer for longer.
You can make a mocktail version either by using a zero-proof spirit that mimics the flavor of rum or just skipping it altogether. Top up the drink with lime or coconut-flavored soda like LaCroix. I recommend avoiding sugary sodas that would overpower the flavor fo the syrup.
