Start with a tall glass for serving. This gives you room for all those delicious layers. You want a glass that shows off the beautiful colors of your mojito. It’s also great for adding the right amount of ice later.
In the bottom of your glass, add the fresh mint sprigs. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the leaves just enough to release their oils. This step is crucial; it brings out that refreshing mint flavor.
Pour in the green apple schnapps, followed by the freshly squeezed lime juice. Use your spoon to stir gently. This will combine those flavors before introducing more ingredients.
Next, add the citrus-infused rum and pineapple nectar. Stir gently once more. This step is vital; the rum adds depth while the pineapple brings a tropical twist.
Now it’s time to add the coconut cream and simple syrup. These ingredients will elevate your mojito and contribute to its creamy texture and sweetness. Again, stir gently for even distribution.
Fill your glass with ice cubes, then top it off with just a splash of lemon-lime soda. The fizz adds a delightful surprise. For the final touch, you can garnish with an extra mint sprig or even some thin slices of Asian pear for presentation.
