Sparkling Coconut Limeade
Thirst quenching, hydrating, and utterly delicious, you’ll want to keep this refreshing libation on hand throughout the summer months.
Transform it into a refreshing summer cocktail by adding a jigger of vodka, gin, rum, or tequila!
Be sure to use coconut water, not coconut milk
Ingredients:
¾—1 cup simple syrup
¾—1 cup freshly squeezed limes, plus additional limes sliced for garnish
6 cups coconut water
2 cups plain seltzer or club soda
mint sprigs
Method:
If you haven’t got any on hand, make the simple syrup by stirring equal amounts of sugar and water together in a saucepan. Bring it to the boil, then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool.
In a pitcher, combine the simple syrup with the lime juice and coconut water.
Stir in the seltzer.
Taste and adjust the sugar/lime juice/coconut water balance to your liking.
Place a tall sprig of mint in each glass and fill the glasses halfway with ice.
Pour the coconut limeade over the ice and serve with a slice of lime for garnish.
