2. Shake Cocktail Mixture: In a cocktail shaker, combine ice, 1 oz of key lime juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 oz of rum, and 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and the sugar has dissolved.

Notes

• For a stronger lime flavor, use freshly squeezed key lime juice instead of bottled.
• Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
• Use coconut milk with no added sugar to control sweetness and ensure a creamy texture.
• Crushed ice can be used for a more traditional mojito texture.
• For a non-alcoholic version, substitute rum with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic rum alternative.
