Blue Coconut Agua Fresca Mocktail Recipe
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.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or a big jar with a lid
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall glass or pitcher
- Long spoon for stirring.
- Citrus juicer (if you have one, it makes life easier)
- Small whisk (useful for the spirulina)
- Ice cube tray
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 –2 teaspoons agave syrup or simple syrup adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- Ice cubes
- Sparkling water totally optional, for a bit of fizz
- Lime wheels fresh mint, or shredded coconut (for garnish—pick your favorite)
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.
