Looking for a drink that’s both refreshing and eye-catching? My Blue Coconut Agua Fresca Mocktail checks both boxes—cool, colorful, and totally alcohol-free.

It’s got sweet coconut and just a hint of citrus, which gives it a fun twist on the usual agua fresca. Making this at home, I always end up with that bright blue color that turns heads—no booze required.

The ingredients are nothing fancy. You probably have most of them already, and you don’t need any special skills to pull this off.

Honestly, it’s great for parties or just something new at a family get-together. Kids love it, adults are into it, and sharing is easy.

This drink’s all about coconut water, blue spirulina, and a splash of lime juice. I like that you only need simple stuff and basic kitchen tools to make it look and taste impressive.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fill your shaker (or jar) with ice cubes.
  • Add coconut water, lime juice, agave syrup, and blue spirulina powder.
  • Pop the lid on and shake it hard for about 15–20 seconds. You want that spirulina to disappear and the color to really pop.
  • Strain it into a tall glass packed with ice.
  • If you’re into fizz, top it off with sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
  • Garnish however you like—lime wheel, mint, a little coconut. Go wild.
  • Serve it right away and enjoy.

Notes

Honestly, cold coconut water just makes this way more refreshing. The blue spirulina doesn’t taste like much, but the color is a showstopper.
If I’m craving a sweeter drink, I just add more agave. Want more tartness? Squeeze in extra lime. Sometimes I skip the sparkling water for a still version—depends on my mood.
Mint leaves smell amazing as a garnish, and shredded coconut looks festive on top. I think it’s best when you serve it right after mixing—colors are brighter and flavors are fresher.
If there’s any left, I stash it in the fridge and give it a quick stir before pouring. Spirulina settles, but it comes right back with a mix.

Tasting Notes

First sip? It’s cold and super refreshing. Sweetness is subtle, not in-your-face. And that blue color—it just looks cool.

Flavor Highlights:

  • Coconut flavor: Creamy, smooth, and kind of tropical.
  • Hint of citrus: Just enough brightness to wake it up.
  • Balanced sweetness: Not too sugary, so I can actually drink a couple glasses without feeling overdone.

The smell is mostly fresh coconut with a bit of lime peeking through. Texture’s silky but still light—definitely not thick or heavy.

Coconut water is definitely front and center. The blue syrup (or spirulina) adds a gentle sweetness and a little fruity vibe. Lime brings just enough acidity to keep things interesting.

Served over ice, it stays crisp and cool. I’d say chilling it is a must for the best experience.

With my eyes closed, it’s almost like a mini tropical vacation—simple, clean, not too sweet. And the blue color makes it just plain fun.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

Sometimes I’m missing an ingredient or two, so here’s what I swap in a pinch:

For equipment, I usually just grab what’s around.

Shaker: No fancy cocktail shaker? A jar with a tight lid does the trick for me.

Strainer: I’ll use a kitchen sieve—or honestly, even a tea strainer if that’s what’s handy.

Here’s how I tackle substitutions when I’m making the drink:

  • First, I gather the substitutes I want to use.
  • I mix the liquids using the same amounts as the recipe calls for.
  • Then, I adjust the sweetness, since substitutes can be all over the place in terms of sugar.
  • I taste it and, if something feels off, I’ll tweak until it’s right.
