Ingredients you’ll need to make a Coconut Mojito

Muddle the mint leaves, lime wedges and sugar in a cocktail shaker, just long enough to release the minty flavor. Then add the coconut water and rums. Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and shake well to combine. If you don’t have a good shaker, try this one from OXO.
