Coconut Mojito Sorbet (Dairy-Free & Vegan)

Ready to mojo your mojito? Let’s spin this classic cocktail into a frozen summer treat.

Below is our easy-to-follow recipe and step-by-step guide;

(Prep time: 20 mins | Freeze time: 4 hours | Yields: ~4–6 servings)

Ingredients:

• 250ml coconut water
• 150ml fresh lime juice
• 100ml sugar syrup
• Handful of fresh mint leaves
• 50ml white rum (optional)

Method:

1. Make the mint syrup:
   Gently heat sugar syrup with the mint leaves for 5–10 mins. Cool completely, then strain.
2. Blend the base:
   In a blender or jug, combine coconut water, lime juice, cooled mint syrup, and rum (if using). Blend briefly to mix.
3. Chill & churn:
   Chill the mixture in the fridge for 30 mins. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn until slushy-soft. Freeze for 3–4 hours to firm up fully.

Thinking of turning your mojito mix into lollies? Grab yourself a set of easy-release silicone ice lolly moulds on Amazon — they make unmoulding a breeze and come in great shapes for little hands (or grown-up garden guests!). Check out our how-to-guide below.

💡 Did You Know? Sorbet churns best when chilled before freezing. A 30-minute fridge rest helps the texture stay smooth — no icy crystals here!

Alcohol-Free Mocktail Twist

✔️ Skip the rum altogether and double the mint infusion.
✔️ Add a splash of elderflower cordial or lemon balm syrup for a floral note.
✔️ Try sparkling lime soda or non-alcoholic mojito mix for extra fizz.

Kid-friendly and picnic-perfect!

💡 Did You Know? Alcohol lowers the freezing point of desserts, making sorbets and lollies extra soft and scoopable — but slower to set, so plan ahead!

Ice Lolly Variation — Coconut Mojito Pops!

Fancy your mojito frozen on a stick? This recipe also makes fantastically refreshing ice lollies — perfect for parties, garden lounging, or just mixing things up a bit.

How to Make:

1. Follow the main recipe as usual — blend and chill the mixture well.
2. Pour into your favourite ice lolly moulds.
3. Add reusable or wooden sticks.
4. Freeze for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.

Note:
If using rum, your lollies will be a little softer due to the alcohol — but they’ll still hold shape and melt slowly, making them ideal for warm summer evenings.

💡 Kid-friendly version? Skip the rum and try infusing extra mint or adding a splash of elderflower cordial. It’s bright, floral, and beautifully British.

💡 Layer it up: Want to get fancy? Try alternating the mojito mix with crushed fruit or coconut milk for a marbled effect!
