Instructions

There are two parts to this mojito. One is how to make kaffir lime leaves with simple syrup. The second part is how to put the drink together. Let's make our drink!

Make the simple syrup by adding sugar, water, and kaffir lime leaves in a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Whisk often until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat off. Let the syrup cool.
In a tall cocktail glass, muddle 3-4 mint leaves and one large kaffir lime leaf. Add the ice, coconut rum, lime juice, kaffir lime simple syrup. Stir well with a stir stick.
Add the creme de coconut and stir well until you get a foamy drink. Sample the drink and adjust with more rum if necessary.
Pour club soda, tonic water, or bubbly water to top off the drink. Stir lightly one last time. That's it!

Take a sip, and adjust with more liquor, lime juice, or simple syrup. Garnish with your favorite ingredient, and enjoy!

Notes

Coconut lime mojito is best served in individual glasses rather than in a large pitcher for a party. So make your drink on a per-need basis to maximize the yummy flavors!
You can rim your glasses with sugar salt if you want more of a fancy and sweet texture to your drink. Dip your glasses before adding anything to them.
You can add toasted coconut to the top for additional coconut texture and flavors to your coconut lime mojito.
Garnishing ideas: Mint, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, rosemary, Thai basil, cucumber slices, lemon, lime, oranges, peaches, nectarine, and so much more!
