Mint and coffee are a match made in heaven. If you’ve had the mint mojito coffee from Philz Coffee, you know what I’m talking about. In fact, this vegan mint mojito coffee shaved ice is a play on that! A shaved ice version, if you will. It’s beautifully balanced, and absolutely perfect for summer. I’m obsessed and will definitely be making this time and time again.
How do I make the shaved ice?!
Unfortunately, this is a recipe that you’ll need a special gadget for. I’m sorry, I really am. But if you feel as strongly about ice as I do, you’ll be glad you bought another dumb kitchen device. If you have a shaved ice maker already, use that and skip to the next paragraph. This isn’t for you. If not, I strongly recommend buying the Kitchenaid shaved ice attachment for their mixer. I recently got it and am obsessed. It’s so easy to use and shaves the ice beautifully. If you don’t already have a mixer, I’m sorry, but I can’t make a suitable recommendation for you. I’m sure there are plenty of good machines out there, though! Or if you want to skip the machine entirely, I’ll recommend a blended version so that you can at least enjoy the flavor sensation that is this drink.
Yeah, I’m not buying a machine. How do I make the blended version?
To make the blended version of this drink, simply freeze your coffee in an ice tray and throw it in the blender with the necessary milk, sugar and mint. If you go this route, you may need to add more milk (alternately you could add more cold coffee). Do this by eye and blend until you’re satisfied with the texture!
Ok, what about the coffee?
You’ll want to ensure that whatever coffee you use for this is strong. I used cold brew, and I highly recommend following suit. It’s potent, and it’s already cold. What more could you want?
Make sure to freeze your coffee in advance so that you can just pop the block of ice into your shaved ice maker! (Or the cubes into your blender.)
And now a quick video to demonstrate the process of making this:

Vegan Mint Mojito Coffee Shaved Ice
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coffee Frozen (I used cold brew)
- 1/4 cup Fresh mint
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 3 tbsp Oat milk (Or the milk of your choice)
Instructions
- Add the mint, brown sugar, and oat milk to a glass or a jar and muddle to infuse the milk with minty flavor. Then set aside.
- Add your frozen coffee to your shaved ice maker and shave into a cup or a bowl. Then pour the minty oat milk over it and enjoy! (I like to add the mint leaves to mine as well, but whether or not you include them is totally up to you.)
And that’s it! So easy, right? And so, so delicious. I’m craving another just thinking about it. If you make this, let me know how you like it in the comments or on Instagram! I always love hearing from you and seeing your photos.
