Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or large jar with lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Ice tray
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Strainer
  • Highball glasses
  • Cocktail stirrer or long spoon
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp knife for garnishes

Ingredients

  • 2 oz ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
  • 4 oz ½ cup coconut cream
  • 1 oz 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • 4 oz ½ cup coconut water
  • Ice cubes
  • Club soda or sparkling water

Garnish options:

  • Lime wheels or wedges
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Fresh mint leaves

The quality of ingredients matters. Use fresh limes rather than bottled juice for the best flavor. Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk and gives the drink its rich texture.

Instructions

  • Prepare the glass: Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  • Mix the base: In a cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and coconut water.
  • Shake well: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled and mixed.
  • Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass.
  • Add fizz: Top with club soda or sparkling water (about 2 oz).
  • Garnish: Add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Add a mint leaf for color.
  • Stir gently: Give a quick stir before serving.

The drink tastes best when very cold. The recipe makes one serving but can be easily doubled or tripled for a group.

    Notes

    This mocktail can be adapted in several ways. For a sweeter version, add more simple syrup. To make it less sweet, reduce the syrup and add more lime juice.
    For a frozen version, blend all ingredients (except club soda) with 1 cup of ice until smooth, then pour into glasses and top with club soda.
    Store leftover coconut cream in the refrigerator for up to one week. The drink is best made fresh but the base mixture (without ice or soda) can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
    For a special touch, freeze coconut water in ice cube trays and use these instead of regular ice cubes to prevent dilution as they melt.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Tasting Notes

    The Lime Coconut Splash Mocktail offers a bright, refreshing taste profile that balances sweet and tart flavors expertly. The coconut milk provides a creamy base with natural sweetness that doesn’t overpower.

    Fresh lime juice adds a zesty tang that cuts through the richness of the coconut. This creates a pleasant contrast that keeps the drink interesting with each sip.

    The hint of mint brings a cool, aromatic quality that complements both the lime and coconut flavors. It adds complexity without competing with the main ingredients.

    Flavor Profile:

    • First impression: Bright, citrusy aroma
    • Mid-palate: Creamy coconut with lime zing
    • Finish: Clean, refreshing with mint notes

    The texture is smooth yet light, making it perfect for hot summer days. Ice dilution actually helps balance the richness as you drink.

    For those who prefer less sweetness, reducing the simple syrup by half creates a more tart version that highlights the lime’s natural acidity.

    Substitute

    No lime or coconut milk? No problem! You can still make a tasty mocktail with these simple swaps.

    For lime juice, try lemon juice as the closest match. Grapefruit juice works too, but adds a slightly bitter note.

    Coconut milk can be replaced with almond milk or oat milk. These won’t have the same tropical flavor, but they provide a similar creamy texture.

    You can swap club soda with tonic water or ginger ale. This changes the flavor profile but still gives you bubbles.

    For a different twist, try pineapple juice instead of simple syrup. It adds natural sweetness and complements the tropical theme.

    Quick Tips:

    • Taste as you go when using substitutes
    • Start with less sweetener and add more if needed
    • Fresh fruit juices work better than bottled ones

    If making for kids, colorful fruit garnishes can replace mint for a fun presentation.
