    These creamy coconut lime mojito shooters with a hit of blueberry are your new tropical getaway. This simple lime mojito shot has a wonderful balance of flavors and is so easy to put together. Can be made ahead of time so party planning is easier!

    These creamy and topical coconut lime mojito shooters will be your new summer favorite. You can easily make this recipe ahead of time for easier party planning!

    I’ll be honest with you. I’ve never been a huge fan of shots. If I am going to drink, I usually try and get the drink with the most volume because I want to be able to savor the flavors over and over again. Most shots are just so fleeting in flavor and I want to have more and more, but my liver can’t handle all that! I'm not 21 anymore.

    But then I tried this creamy shooter and fell in love with it. The creaminess helps to coat the tongue more so the flavors last longer and makes it a much more satisfying experience. I decided I needed to make my own creation. With Cinco de Mayo just a day away, these coconut lime mojito shooters seemed like the obvious choice!

    I can’t express how much I love these coconut lime mojito shooters. They are creamy and full of coconut flavor thanks to coconut milk and a touch of sweetened condensed milk for sweetness. I combined the two together to make my own rough cream of coconut. I then muddled freshly picked mint leaves from the garden in the lime and rum. For these shooters I used my chocolate mint which adds a subtle hint of chocolate to the nose when you drink the mojito shooters. Don’t think you need to go out and find chocolate mint because I only discovered it last year so I doubt it is easy to find! Any ol’ mint will do just fine! For a bit of color and flavor, I made a simple blueberry syrup to add to the bottoms of the shooters.

    My mom, the expert shot taker (apparently) suggested gently stirring the bottom of the glasses after you’ve added the coconut lime mojito shooters to mix in the blueberry slightly and give it an ombre look. Well played, mom. Well played.

    An irresistible coconut lime mojito shooter for all your summer events. Perfect for making ahead for easier planning.

    These creamy coconut lime mojito shooters with a hit of blueberry are your new tropical getaway.

    Coconut Lime Mojito Shooters with Blueberry

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Prep Time 15 mins
    Cook Time 3 mins
    Total Time 18 mins
    Servings 15 shooters

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 can full fat coconut milk
    • ¾ cup blueberries I used frozen wild blueberries
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
    • ¼ cup packed mint leaves plus extra for optional garnish
    • ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons lime juice
    • ⅓ cup plus ¼ cup white rum

    Instructions
     

    • Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for several hours undisturbed. Open the can and scoop out the thickened top layer, discarding the water at the bottom.
    • While the coconut is separating in the refrigerator, make the blueberry syrup. Mix together the blueberries, sugar, and water together in a saucepan and heat on medium. Mash the blueberries well and cook until the mixture is syrupy. Strain the syrup and chill.
    • Whisk the coconut and sweetened condensed milk together and set aside.
    • Muddle the mint, lime, and rum together until the mint releases its oils into the liquid. Strain out the mint and discard.
    • Evenly distribute the blueberry syrup in the bottoms of the shot glasses. Carefully top with the coconut lime mojito. Gently stir the bottom of each shooter to mix in the blueberry and give a nice ombre look if desired. Top with mint, if desired.
    • Can be stored in the refrigerator for several hours until ready to serve.

      These sound lovely! I admit that I'm a total lightweight when it comes to shots. 🙂 I love the flavors you've used here, and the ombre effect from swirling the blueberry syrup is gorgeous.

      I'm not normally big on shots either but I'll take two of these! I also want to take your mom out and buy her a shot because that's a fabulous idea to stir in the blueberry and make them all gorgeous. These sound creamy and delicious. Cheers!!

      Oh these seriously look SO good. I'm not much of a shot taker anymore either... they usually just lead to bad hangovers, but I guess one or two or three of these would be ok!
      You've got me intrigued with the chocolate mint though, sounds delish! and they're absolutely beautiful!

      This is my kind of shot! I'm only 22 so shots are in my recent history, but now when I look at them...usually makes me want to gag. Not this beauty though 😉 love your mom's suggestion - the ombre looks seriously gorgeous!!

      LOL - Mother knows best! What a fabulous suggestion, Amanda and I can totally see why/how you'd be totally smitten with these delightful shots. A sipper, I'm sure it can be. No doubt, not 21 anymore. Goodness, how did we do those things? These need to happen, because I'd be in heaven! Delicious and beautiful work! Happy Mothers Day to you! xo
