Equipment

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.

Must Have Ingredients

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:

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.
