Coconut Sunrise

Coconut water makes ordinary cold water slightly sweeter and softer, while lime gives it a cleaner finish. There’s no coconut creaminess here; the texture stays thin and refreshing. Different coconut waters vary quite a bit, so a sip before mixing helps you judge the citrus. This is an easy one for a morning when you want a little flavor without fruit pieces or a blender.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 2 oz Coconut water
• 1/2 oz Lime juice

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.
