Coconut Blueberry Smash Mocktail Recipe
This refreshing mocktail combines sweet blueberries with creamy coconut for a tropical treat anyone can enjoy. The recipe is simple to make yet impressive to serve.
Equipment
- Muddler or wooden spoon
- Cocktail shaker
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Highball glass
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Ice cube tray
- Bar spoon: for stirring.
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.
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.
