Coconut Clementine Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail for a Refreshing Twist

Coconut Clementine Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail is what I crave when the afternoon slump hits and I want something bright, juicy, and totally refreshing. It tastes like sunshine on ice and feels fancy without any of the fuss. If you love citrus, a hint of mint, and a tropical whisper of coconut, this one’s going to steal your heart. I made it for a small family lunch last week, and my kids asked for seconds while the adults quietly guarded their glasses. It is light, fizzy, and sweet in a balanced way. Let’s make it together and sip something that makes the day feel a little bit special.

Why You’ll Love This Delicious Drink

I’m all in on drinks that taste like vacation while still being easy to toss together. This mocktail checks every box. It is bright from the clementines, gently tart from pomegranate, cool from mint, and rounded by creamy coconut notes. The sparkle from club soda gives it that lively finish that keeps you going back for another sip.

It is also practical. You can use coconut water for a lighter vibe or light coconut milk for a silkier texture. Clementines are usually super sweet, so you will not need much sweetener. Pomegranate juice adds that jewel tone color and a little tang. If you are hosting, the mix scales perfectly for a pitcher and stays tasty for hours.

If you are a coconut lover like me, you will probably enjoy a chilled coffee treat too. After this mocktail, I like pairing my afternoon snack with this creamy sip from my site: creamy coconut cold foam iced coffee. Both feel special but are totally doable on a busy day.

Make it for brunch, a baby shower, or a midweek pick-me-up. It is non-alcoholic, kid friendly, and so pretty with garnishes. Once you make it at home, store-bought drinks start to taste flat in comparison.

How To Make This Easy Mocktail Recipe

Ingredients

• 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 2 teaspoons sugar or 1 to 2 teaspoons simple syrup, to taste
• 1 large clementine, juiced (about 1/4 cup) — or 2 small clementines
• 1/2 cup chilled clementine juice total for two drinks
• 1/2 cup chilled pomegranate juice
• 1 cup chilled coconut water, or 3/4 cup light coconut milk for creamy style
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups ice, crushed or cubed
• 1 cup club soda or sparkling water, divided
• Optional: pomegranate arils, clementine wheels, coconut flakes for garnish

Step-by-Step Directions

• Add mint leaves and sugar or simple syrup to a sturdy glass or shaker. Gently press with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release oils. Do not mash into a paste, just bruise the leaves.
• Pour in clementine juice, pomegranate juice, coconut water, and lime juice. Stir or shake briefly until the sugar dissolves.
• Fill two serving glasses with ice. Strain the minty juice mix evenly between the glasses.
• Top each glass with club soda for fizz. Give it a gentle swirl.
• Taste and adjust. Add a touch more syrup if you want it sweeter or a squeeze of lime if you want more tang.
• Garnish with a mint sprig, clementine wheel, and a few pomegranate arils. Sip immediately.

Swaps and Shortcuts

Use bottled clementine juice when you are short on time. If you cannot find clementines, swap in tangerines or sweet oranges. For a creamier mocktail, use light coconut milk and shake it well to blend. Want to meal prep? Mix everything except the club soda and ice, then chill for up to 24 hours. Right before serving, add ice and fizz so it stays lively.

I also love serving this mocktail with a quick savory dinner for balance. Try it next to sticky, sweet flavors like my weeknight favorite 30-minute pineapple chicken and coconut rice. The citrus and mint rinse your palate between bites.

Tools You’ll Need

You do not need fancy bar gear, I promise. A simple muddler or wooden spoon, a shaker or mason jar with a lid, a citrus juicer, and a jigger or measuring spoons will do the trick. A fine mesh strainer helps if you want a super smooth finish without mint bits floating around.

Helpful Tips for Making Mocktails

• Crush your ice if you can. Smaller ice chills faster and gives you that beachy vibe.
• Use cold ingredients. Chill the juices and coconut water so the ice does not melt too fast.
• Muddle with a light hand. You just want the mint oils, not a bitter green mash.
• Balance is key. Taste before topping with club soda. Adjust sweetness and acidity first, then add fizz.
• Choose the right fizz. Club soda has minerals and tastes fuller, while seltzer is more neutral.
• Batch it smart. Multiply the base by 4 or 6 in a pitcher, but add ice and soda only when serving.
• Use clear glasses. The ruby color from pomegranate and orange tint from clementine look stunning.

Once you are in the groove with mocktails, you might want to explore more bold flavors. Hibiscus is floral and tart, and works beautifully in gatherings. Here is a pretty option to bookmark for later: hibiscus punch mocktail.

Make It Pretty With Cute Garnishes

Mocktails are all about the full experience, and a few quick touches make this one feel like a café treat. I like to rim my glass with a tiny bit of sugar mixed with fine shredded coconut. Wet the rim with a clementine wedge, dip into the coconut sugar, and let it set for a minute while you build the drink. It adds texture and a lovely tropical aroma.

For color, drop in a spoonful of pomegranate arils. They look like tiny jewels and burst with sweet-tart pops. Add a thin clementine wheel on the side of the glass, then tuck in a mint sprig so every sip smells fresh. If you are in the mood to play, balance a tiny wedge of clementine on a cocktail pick with a few arils skewered like a little garnish crown.

Want a playful dessert to match the vibe? Try the fruity-coconut combo in my grilled pineapple coconut ice cream delight. It pairs beautifully with the citrus and mint in this drink.

Common Questions

Can I make the mix ahead?

Yes. Combine everything except the club soda and ice up to a day ahead and keep it sealed in the fridge. Add ice and soda just before serving so it stays bubbly and bright.

What if clementines are not in season?

Use tangerines or sweet oranges. Bottled clementine or tangerine juice works too in a pinch.

Is there a creamy version?

Swap the coconut water for light coconut milk and shake well. It turns into a silky, almost dessert-like drink.

How do I make it less sweet?

Skip the added sugar and use unsweetened pomegranate juice. Taste before topping with soda and adjust with lime.

Can I make a big batch for a party?

Absolutely. Multiply the base by 6 or 8 in a pitcher, chill, then pour over ice and finish with club soda right before serving.
