Coconut Coast Time

Coconut water gives this a mild sweetness, while lime makes the finish sharper and cleaner. With sparkling water added, the texture stays light rather than creamy. This is one of the simpler ritual pours, so the coconut water’s flavor matters. Taste it before mixing and adjust the lime accordingly. It should feel like a crisp coconut-and-citrus drink, not a diluted version of a rich tropical cocktail.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 2 oz Coconut water
• 1/2 oz Lime juice

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Coconut water · a potassium contribution

Coconut water supplies some potassium for maintaining normal fluid balance; pairing it with lime adds another layer to the flavor.

Make room for lime

Lime gives the coconut water a lively citrus tang—an aromatic pairing to serve freshly mixed, while the bubbles are lively.
