Ingredients

For a sweeter version, add more simple syrup. For a lighter version, use light coconut milk instead of full-fat.

Instructions

  • Prepare the fruit: Wash all berries and fruit thoroughly. Slice strawberries in half, leave smaller berries whole. Cut citrus fruits into thin rounds.
  • Make the base: In the pitcher, combine berries and citrus slices. Gently muddle with a wooden spoon to release some juices without completely crushing the fruit.
  • Add liquids: Pour in the lime juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup or honey. Stir well.
  • Mix in coconut: Add the coconut milk and white grape juice. Stir gently until well combined.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend together.
  • Serve: Just before serving, add sparkling water and stir gently. Pour over ice in glasses and garnish with mint leaves and coconut flakes.

This mocktail tastes best when made a day ahead and allowed to chill overnight.

    Notes

    The recipe serves 6-8 people and can be doubled for larger gatherings. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the sparkling water will lose its fizz.
    For a frozen version, blend the base mixture with ice to create a slushie texture. Add the sparkling water last and stir gently.
    To make this drink kid-friendly, reduce the lime juice to 2 tablespoons. For a more adult version, add a splash of coconut extract for deeper flavor.
    The berries can be adjusted based on what’s in season. Frozen berries work well too, but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess water.

    Tasting Notes

    The Berry Coconut Sangria Mocktail offers a refreshing blend of sweet and tart flavors. The mixed berries provide a fruity base that balances perfectly with the smooth coconut water.

    Upon first sip, you’ll notice the bright berry flavors hit your tongue. These natural fruit notes are neither too sweet nor too tart.

    The coconut water adds a subtle tropical undertone that doesn’t overpower the berries. It creates a light, clean finish after each sip.

    Flavor Profile:

    • Initial taste: Fresh berry medley
    • Mid-palate: Hint of coconut
    • Finish: Clean, slightly sweet

    The lime juice adds a gentle citrus zing that brightens the entire drink. This acidity helps cut through the sweetness of the berries.

    For those who enjoy texture in their drinks, the small bits of berry pulp add interest. The optional mint garnish contributes a cooling aroma that enhances the drinking experience.

    This mocktail works well in different seasons. In summer, it’s cool and refreshing. In winter, it provides a cheerful reminder of warmer days.

    The color is another pleasing aspect—a rich ruby-purple that looks beautiful in clear glassware. This makes it a good choice for special occasions or gatherings.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitutes

    Need to make the Berry Coconut Sangria Mocktail without certain ingredients? There are many options to change the recipe while keeping the delicious taste.

    Fruit Substitutions:

    For a less sweet version, try using unsweetened tea instead of fruit juice. This works well with black tea or herbal varieties like hibiscus.

    Garnish Options:

    If you can’t have coconut, the mocktail still tastes great with plain sparkling water as the base. Just add extra fruit juice for flavor.

    For a frozen version, blend the ingredients with ice instead of serving over ice cubes. This makes a refreshing slushy perfect for hot summer days.
