When music meets mixology, you get “The Fat Joe” Skinny Mo, a signature cocktail that’s more than just a drink. It’s a statement.
Fat Joe (aka Joseph Cartagena) has partnered with South Florida’s beloved Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar to debut this breezy mojito twist featuring Sonrisa Platino Rum, his own Puerto Rican rum label. Crafted with agave nectar, fresh lime juice, coconut water floater, mint, and lime, this cocktail brings a tropical chic with every sip.
Rocco’s serves this at around $13.50, alongside a regular Sonrisa Mojito priced just a dollar less. For the restaurant chain—nestled across Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and beyond—this is another star-powered addition to a guest list that’s already seen collaborations with legends like Guy Fieri and Mark Wahlberg.
Why the Skinny Mo Skips the Diabetes
Fat Joe’s latest drink is a nod to cleaner living: zero carbs, zero sugar, gluten-free, and keto-friendly courtesy of Sonrisa’s clean-profile Platino Rum. In the words of the rapper: “The drink is light, fresh and delicious without the added sugar… people are definitely going to love it.”
This signature mojito isn’t just about flavor; it’s about lifestyle. Released just months after Sonrisa Rum’s launch during Miami Grand Prix Week, this cocktail is a way for Joe to share both his culture and his wellness shift.
From Puerto Rico to Miami Taprooms
Sonrisa Rum isn’t a side hustle it’s a cultural ode. Rooted in Puerto Rican spirit and community, $1 from every bottle goes to mom-and-pop businesses still recovering from disasters like Hurricane Maria. Sonrisa isn’t just a label—it’s a lifeline.
Mojitos are often tropical comfort in a glass. But this one carries context: a rum born from generosity, creativity, and a neighborhood’s resurgence. In Miami’s sun-drenched corners, it’s a drink that both tastes good—and feels good.
What makes “The Fat Joe” Skinny Mo stand out? It’s not just its ingredients—it’s the ethos behind the glass. South Florida patrons are getting a mojito that’s as fit for a rapper’s journey as it is for a microbrew evening. It’s a whisper of wellness, a toast to history, and a tribute to home—all served with a lime wedge.
Next time you’re in Rocco’s Tacos, order smart, sip slow, and let the skinny mo do the talking.
