When I first started swapping sugary drinks for cleaner options, I missed the fun of cocktails — until I tried this. The combo of lime and mint with creamy coconut water feels like a spa day in a glass. Now, it’s my go-to when I want something fizzy, light, and totally vacation-worthy (even if I’m just in the backyard).

Ingredients:

• Juice of 1 lime

• 1 cup coconut water (unsweetened)

• ½ cup sparkling water or club soda

• 6–8 fresh mint leaves

• 1 tsp honey or agave (optional)

• Ice cubes

• Lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

1. Muddle the mint:
   In a glass or shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and honey to release flavor.

2. Mix the base:
   Add coconut water and stir (or shake) to combine.

3. Add sparkle:
   Pour into glasses over ice and top with sparkling water.

4. Garnish & serve:
   Add a lime slice and mint sprig. Sip and feel the tropical vibes!

Sarah’s Tips:

• Want it creamier? Add a splash of light coconut milk for a richer twist.

• Swap sparkling water with plain water for a gentler version.

• This is perfect for brunches, spa nights, or just sipping on the porch after dinner.
