Blueberry Coconut Cooler Mocktail Recipe

When I’m after something refreshing but not boozy, I usually whip up a Blueberry Coconut Cooler Mocktail. This easy recipe leans on fresh blueberries and creamy coconut water, making a cool, tasty drink that’s honestly hard to beat on a hot day.

Fresh ingredients really make this mocktail feel a little special—ideal for sunny afternoons or a party where you want something different on the table. I always lean towards simple recipes with real flavor, and this one totally fits the bill.

The combo of blueberries and coconut gives you a sweet, fruity taste, but it never goes overboard on the sugar. If you want a healthy, quick mocktail, this is a breeze to put together and it’s got those bright, happy flavors that just work.

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a lid
  • Muddler (or just use the back of a spoon—no need to get fancy)
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Tall glass (12–16 oz works well)
  • Small bowl for smashing blueberries
  • Stirring spoon
  • Ice cube tray
  • Citrus juicer (optional, but nice to have)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk from a can or carton—whatever you have
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 –3 teaspoons honey or simple syrup taste and see what you like
  • ½ cup club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Extra blueberries lime slices, and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • Toss the blueberries and honey into a small bowl.
  • Muddle them until they’re juicy and kind of messy.
  • Add coconut milk and lime juice to the blueberry mix.
  • Pour it all into a cocktail shaker or jar, throw in some ice, and shake it up well.
  • Strain the mixture into a tall glass packed with more ice.
  • Slowly top with club soda and give it a gentle stir.
  • Finish with extra blueberries, a lime slice, and a sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.

Notes

Adjust the honey to your liking—some days I want it sweeter, some days not. If you’d rather have a lighter texture, swap coconut milk for coconut water and see what you think.
Making a batch for a crowd? Just multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher. Don’t add the club soda until the very end though, or you’ll lose the fizz.
Sometimes I muddle in a few mint leaves with the blueberries for extra flavor. If you want to prep ahead, that’s fine, but I always wait to add the ice and club soda until right before serving so it stays fresh and fizzy.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

First sip? The blueberry and coconut hit you right away—bright, a little tart, and then smooth from the coconut. That coconut finish is just so creamy.

It’s lightly sweet, not cloying at all. I get a hint of lime that keeps the whole thing balanced and gives it a citrusy lift.

The mocktail is smooth on the tongue, with a soft texture thanks to the coconut milk. I actually like the little bits of blueberry that sneak through.

I think this drink is super approachable—even folks who don’t usually go for coconut seem to like it. The fruit and cream just play off each other without getting overwhelming.

For garnish, I’ll sometimes toss on a mint sprig or a few whole blueberries. Makes it look pretty and adds a fresh pop of aroma.

Substitute

Sometimes I run out of an ingredient, or maybe I just want to mix things up a bit. Here are a few substitutes I like for my Blueberry Coconut Cooler Mocktail.

Fruit Substitutes:

  • Swap blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Each one gives a slightly different vibe, honestly.
  • Frozen fruit works just fine if fresh ones are nowhere to be found.

Coconut Water Substitutes:

  • Plain water or sparkling water gives a lighter, more refreshing taste. Sometimes I even prefer it that way.
  • Almond milk or oat milk will make it creamier, which is kind of fun if you’re in the mood for something richer.

Sweetener Alternatives:

  • Honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup can stand in for sugar, no problem. I’ll use whatever’s on hand.
  • If I’m trying to cut sugar, stevia or monk fruit sweetener can do the trick.

Citrus Options:

  • Lemon juice is an easy swap for lime juice. I do it all the time.
  • Or, just toss in a splash of orange juice for a totally different twist.
