Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries plus extra for garnish

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
¼ cup coconut cream
½ cup coconut water
¼ cup club soda
6-8 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
Lime wheel for garnish

For best results, use fresh blueberries rather than frozen. The coconut cream should be unsweetened for better control of the sweetness level.

Instructions

Place ¾ cup of blueberries in the bottom of the cocktail shaker.
Add mint leaves and honey/maple syrup.
Gently muddle to release the blueberry juice and mint oils.

Pour in the lime juice, coconut cream, and coconut water.
Add ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Top with club soda and stir gently.

Garnish with remaining blueberries, a sprig of mint, and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.

Notes

This mocktail can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead (without the club soda) and stored in the refrigerator. Just add the club soda right before serving.

For a sweeter version, increase the honey to 2 tablespoons.

If serving at a party, prepare a large batch by multiplying all ingredients by the number of servings needed.

The recipe makes one 12-ounce serving. For a fun variation, freeze coconut water in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes. This prevents dilution as the ice melts.

Tasting Notes

This Coconut Blueberry Smash Mocktail offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tart flavors. The coconut water provides a light, slightly sweet base that complements the bright, juicy notes of the blueberries.

When you first sip, you’ll notice the fresh blueberry flavor taking center stage. The muddled berries create a gentle sweetness that isn’t overpowering.

The lime juice adds a zesty tang that cuts through the sweetness and brings a needed acidity to the drink. This citrus element makes the mocktail more complex and interesting.

Flavor Profile:

Primary: Sweet blueberry
Secondary: Subtle coconut
Finish: Bright lime acidity

The texture is smooth yet has some substance from the muddled fruit. Ice dilution helps mellow the flavors as you drink, making it increasingly refreshing.

Temperature affects the taste experience too. When very cold, the coconut notes are more subtle. As the drink warms slightly, the coconut flavor becomes more noticeable.

The mint garnish isn’t just decorative—it adds an aromatic quality that enhances each sip. The herb’s scent complements the fruity profile without overwhelming it.

Children tend to enjoy the natural sweetness, while adults appreciate the balanced, not-too-sweet composition. This makes it perfect for family gatherings.

Substitutes

Don’t have all the ingredients for a Coconut Blueberry Smash Mocktail? No problem! You can swap items while keeping the drink’s tropical flavor.

For coconut water, try plain water with a splash of coconut extract. Regular milk or almond milk can replace coconut milk.

Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen ones will do in a pinch. If you don’t have blueberries at all, try blackberries or raspberries for a different but equally refreshing flavor.

Common Substitutions:

Coconut water → Water with coconut extract
Coconut milk → Almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk
Fresh blueberries → Frozen blueberries or other berries

Lime juice → Lemon juice
Mint leaves → Basil leaves or skip

For a sweeter drink, add honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. Those watching sugar intake can use stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

The recipe is very flexible. The key is keeping the balance between the creamy coconut base and the fruity berry notes.
