• 2 oz Sugar syrup

• 1 oz Any flavor (Flavor ingredient not specified in the source.)
• 1 tsp Sugar (Used to muddle; the ingredient list does not separately quantify it.)

• Crushed ice (Amount not stated.)
• Mint (Garnish; amount not stated.)
• 3 oz Coconut water

Steps

1. 1

   For the Sojito, place the lime wedges, 1 teaspoon sugar, and mint leaves in a tall Collins glass. Muddle them together.

2. 2

   Fill the glass with crushed ice.

3. 3

   Add the club soda and give the drink a nice mix with a bar spoon. The source also lists mint syrup, lime juice, sugar syrup, and a 1-ounce flavor ingredient, but does not specify where or when to add them; their use is unclear.

4. 4

   Garnish the Sojito with mint.

5. 5

   For the Off The Tree Coconut Mocktail, put 8–9 ice cubes in a blender.

6. 6

   Add the coconut water, pineapple juice, Coco Lopez, and pineapple chunks to the blender.

7. 7

   Blend on low speed for 60 seconds.

8. 8

   Pour into a glass of your choice, or a coconut shell. Garnish with a pineapple flag and umbrella.

Notes

The Sojito ingredient list includes mint syrup, lime juice, sugar syrup, and an unspecified 1-ounce flavor, but the instructions do not explain how they are used. Its method also calls for 1 teaspoon sugar and mint leaves, which are not included in its ingredient list. The source describes the drinks as “long sipping” and “nutty, fresh, creamy,” respectively.
