Pineapple Mojito

Pineapple and rum are frequently paired together. Think of the popular Caribbean rum drink, Bahama Mama, or a Painkiller, or perhaps a Caribbean Rum Punch. The combination of pineapple and a good rum make for a decidedly tropical tasting beverage.

We’ve always been fans of a good Perfect Mojito, and have been known to post a mojito variation or two (check out this Pear Mojito, Mango Mojito or Zesty Orange Mojito), so it was only natural to try a Pineapple Mojito. It took a try or two to figure out the best combination, but we think you’ll enjoy this recipe. Cheers!

Sparkling Coconut Mojito

Ahhh… summer. Love the hot days and icy cold drinks!

We’ve been asked lately to post some lower cal drinks, or drinks that are Keto friendly and we thought of this one while sipping a Coconut La Croix Sparkling Water over ice.

When putting this drink together, we did a little research and found that although an unflavored rum contains nearly zero carbs, that was not necessarily true for flavored rums. In looking them up, coconut rums can vary in carb content from zero to a fair amount of carbs per serving, probably depending on if the flavor is infused or added with a liqueur. If you are counting carbs, please do your own research to make sure you are adding a low carb variety. If counting calories, the majority of calories come from the rum(s) which are at least 65 calories per ounce, but because the majority of the liquid is from the La Croix Coconut Sparkling Water (which contains 0 calories in 12 fluid oz.), the calorie count for this drink is fairly low for an alcoholic beverage.

I like a drink that is not really sweet, so I really enjoyed this Sparkling Coconut Mojito without the addition of the Stevia, but if you prefer a sweeter drink, add liquid Stevia to taste. Cheers!

10 Best Tropical Rum Drinks

Why is it that the taste of a tropical rum drink can sometimes transport us right back to a hammock on a beautiful beach or a great time with friends at one of our favorite beach bars? Still, whenever I taste a Piña Colada, I can close my eyes and almost feel a light sea breeze blowing while lounging on our boat in the evening during our first BVI sail….

We’ve put together a list of 10 Best Tropical Rum Drinks – those that we remember fondly from our past vacations in the sun. What tropical rum drinks would make your list?

1. Piña Colada


Can’t remember the first one I tried, but this is one frozen concoction of pineapple, coconut and rum is one that brings us right back to the islands…This one was enjoyed at The Top Of The Baths, Virgin Gorda.

2. The Painkiller

We sampled out first Painkiller when there was a Pusser’s in Cruz Bay on St. John many years ago… It has become one of our favorites and is available nearly everywhere in the Caribbean now – especially anywhere in the Virgin Islands. And it has a pretty tasty cousin too – The Nilla Killa!
Painkiller Recipe

3. Caribbean Rum Punch

We’ve enjoyed SO many rum punches from tropical locales far and wide that we should be some kind of Rum Punch experts by now. Every place seems to have their own “secret” recipe, but can’t seem to find too many we don’t care for. The difference? The type of rum used and the different fruit juices. One word? YUM!
Caribbean Rum Punch Recipe

4. Frozen Rum Runners


Just plain awesome. Nothing quite cools ya off as well as a Frozen Rum Runner on a hot tropical day. The non frozen variety are great as well, but the frozen ones, well, they’re kinda like a slushee with a REALLY good kick!

5. Bushwhacker

Bushwackers’s. Oh. my. I got a taste of my first Bushwacker atop Paradise Point in St. Thomas many, many years ago and was pretty much hooked. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Chocolate, rum and the amazing overlook of Charlotte Amalie – wow, paradise.

6. Bahama Mama

Pretty much tastes like a tropical paradise! Rum, rum and more rum, lemon juice, pineapple juice AND Kahlua. Careful – this one packs one large tropical kick!

7. Mojito


Well, if you’ve been following us long, you already know that we are nuts for mojitos. Pictured here is the Perfect Mojito (our favorite) although we’ve posted a ton of fruity variations that are all quite tasty! Check our post: 10 Mojito Variations for other delicious Mojito Recipes!

8. Banana Daiquiri

Creamy banana goodness mixed with rum? Ahhh… yes. Here’s one that we really enjoyed at Saba Rock Resort in the BVI (pre-Irma). Maybe the great view had something to do with it??

9. Mai Tai

Aloha! First enjoyed on a dinner cruise in Hawaii, this wonderful concoction brings back memories of swaying palm trees and the sound of the ukelele … Requires a few more ingredients than some of the other tropical rum drinks listed, but well worth it!
Mai Tai Recipe

10. Dirty Banana


One of the most searched for recipes on our website, this Jamaican delight must be a favorite with many of you. Dark rum, Tia Maria and rum cream liqueur all mixed in with a tasty banana. Ya mon!

Mango Mojito

Today we had a lovely ripe mango sitting on the countertop and so I thought I’d try it out in a mojito recipe. There were numerous mango mojito recipes on the web, so we tried a few, changed one up a little and came up with a winner!

We assembled the ingredients and began mixing, nearly drooling at the sweet aroma of the mango. Be sure you choose a ripe mango for this recipe for smooth consistency and the best taste. You may be able to substitute mango nectar for the actual mango, but the real fruit tasted delicious in this drink. We used Cruzan Mango Rum for the added sweetness and another shot of  mango taste, but a white rum can also be used. Makes a great summertime treat!
