Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Muddler or wooden spoon
  • Glasses for serving

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 4-5 limes
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup or adjust to taste
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
  • Fresh mint leaves about 10-15, plus extra for garnish
  • Lime slices for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Prepare the Ingredients: Start by juicing the limes to get fresh lime juice. Measure out the coconut water and simple syrup.
  • Muddle the Mint: In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. This step adds a fresh and aromatic touch to your spritzer.
  • Combine the Mixture: Add the coconut water, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake well for about 15–20 seconds. This mixes all the ingredients together while chilling the drink.
  • Serve: Fill glasses with ice and strain the mixture into each glass, about two-thirds full. Top each glass with sparkling water or club soda for a fizzy kick.
  • Garnish: Add a few lime slices and a sprig of fresh mint to each glass for garnish.
  • Enjoy: Sip and enjoy the refreshing flavors of your Coconut Lime Spritzer!
  • Variations
  • Add Fruit: For a fruity twist, add slices of strawberries, pineapple, or mango into the mix before shaking. This not only adds flavor but also makes the drink visually appealing.
  • Mocktail Version: Omit the alcohol entirely for a family-friendly version. Just stick with coconut water, lime juice, and sparkling water.
  • Spiced Version: Add a splash of rum (light or dark) for a boozy kick, or incorporate coconut rum for an extra coconut flavor.
