Chill your glasses – For extra frosty presentation and flavor.
How to Make Pineapple Coconut Mojito Mocktails
Step 1: Muddle the pineapple and mint
In a shaker or sturdy glass, gently muddle the pineapple chunks with the mint leaves to release juices and oils.
Step 2: Add the liquids
Pour in the coconut water, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
Stir everything together until well mixed.
Step 3: Fill with ice
Add a generous amount of ice cubes to chill the mixture and keep it crisp.
Step 4: Top with sparkle
Pour sparkling water or club soda over the top until the glass is full and fizzing.
Step 5: Garnish and enjoy
Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge to each glass. Serve immediately while bubbly.

Variations / Substitutions
