Coconut Water Mocktail
This refreshing coconut water mocktail combines natural electrolytes with zesty lime and sweet mint syrup. Perfect for hot days or as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks any time of year.
Ingredients
For the Mocktail:
- 6 oz unsweetened coconut water
- 1/2 oz about 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1-2 tablespoons mint honey syrup
- Ice cubes
- Cucumber slices for garnish
- Fresh mint sprig for garnish
- Lime wedge for garnish
Mint Honey Syrup:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 10 sprigs fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Make the mint-honey syrup: Combine honey, water, and mint in a small saucepan. Simmer on medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes.
- Strain and cool: Remove mint leaves using a strainer. Let the syrup cool down completely before using.
- Prepare your glass: Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes for maximum chill factor.
- Add the base flavors: Pour in lime juice and mint honey syrup first so they mix well together.
- Pour in coconut water: Add the coconut water slowly, watching as the flavors combine in the glass.
- Garnish with flair: Add cucumber slices, a fresh mint sprig, and a lime wedge on the rim.
- Give a quick stir: Mix everything gently with a straw or stirrer before enjoying.
Notes
- Make extra syrup to keep in the fridge for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
- For a sparkling version, replace half the coconut water with club soda or sparkling water.
- Adjust sweetness by changing the amount of mint honey syrup to match your taste preferences.
- Chill ingredients beforehand for the most refreshing drink with less ice dilution.
