Who knew?!  Apparently I have a thing for mojitos.  When I started making my own cocktails earlier this year as part of my New Year’s resolution, I quickly became a fan.  And while my Grapefruit Mojitos have been in heavy rotation the last couple of months, unfortunately grapefruit season is coming to an end.  To keep my mojito love alive and well, I came up with something a bit more tropical to get me through the spring and summer months.  Because what could welcome warmer temperatures better than a Pineapple Mojito?  (We’re going to ignore the fact that tomorrow is April 28th and there is accumulating snow in our forecast.)

Isn’t this pitcher full of deliciousness a beauty?  These six ingredient Pineapple Mojitos couldn’t be easier and makes four drinks with just 10 minutes of prep time.  Fresh mint and limes are muddled together before being doused in pineapple juice, simple syrup, white rum and club soda.  Served over ice and garnished with even more pineapple and mint, you’ll feel like you’re on a tropical vacation without leaving home!

That amazing mojito taste I’ve come to love just isn’t for drinks!  I’m also planning on trying these Mojito Cupcakes, Mojito Poke Cake and Watermelon and Blueberry Mojito Salad.

Simple syrup?  If you haven’t made it before, don’t worry!  And please don’t be the sucker that goes to the store to buy it!  It’s so incredibly easy and inexpensive to make at home.  Simple syrup is simply a combination of equal amounts of sugar and water heated in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.  After it cools, you can store the liquid in the fridge so it’s at the ready whenever you’d like to use it.  I love to make a large batch and keep it refrigerated in a mason jar as it’ll keep for three to four weeks.  For one cup of simple syrup you’ll want to use approximately 3/4 cup of water and sugar, but again, make a larger batch so you won’t need to make it every time you’d like a cocktail.

This isn’t my first ride on the pineapple rodeo.  If you’re in love with this fresh, sweet taste as much as I am, I guarantee you’ll also love my Pineapple Pork Chili and Pineapple Pepper Chicken Kebobs.   This Foil Packet Pineapple Coconut Chicken is not only delicious but also makes dinner clean up a breeze.  The bright flavor of fresh pineapple to savory dishes can’t be beat and if you have one of these deliciously easy Pineapple Mojitos alongside, you’ve got all your bases covered!
