Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz white pineapple juice with almond extract
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz bubblegum flavored syrup (e.g., Monin or homemade)
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves
- 2–3 drops pink or blue food coloring (optional)
- Club soda or sparkling water to top
- Ice cubes
- Garnish: Lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint
Instructions
- Step 1: In a sturdy highball or Collins glass, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with the fresh lime juice until the mint is fragrant but not overly torn.
- Step 2: Add the bubblegum flavored syrup, white pineapple juice with almond extract, and the optional food coloring to the glass.
- Step 3: Fill the glass generously with ice cubes, ensuring there is enough room for the club soda.
- Step 4: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a long spoon to combine all the ingredients and chill them properly.
- Step 5: Top off the cocktail with club soda or sparkling water. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and a sprig of mint before serving immediately.
Notes
- For the freshest taste, store any unused pineapple-lime-syrup mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but always muddle fresh mint and add club soda right before serving.
- While there's no reheating for this refreshing cocktail, ensure all your liquid ingredients are thoroughly chilled beforehand to keep your drink icy cold and perfectly crisp from the first sip.
- Make it extra playful by serving these colorful cocktails in tall, frosted glasses, garnished not just with mint and lime, but also with a small, unwrapped piece of bubblegum candy perched on the rim for a sweet surprise.
- The key to a bright mojito is gentle muddling; press the mint leaves just enough to release their fragrant oils without tearing them to avoid any bitter notes in your delicious bubblegum concoction.
