Ingredients & Substitutions
Coconut water is hydrating and full of electrolytes, which is why I love using it as a base here. If you can’t find fresh limes, bottled lime juice will work in a pinch, but fresh is always best. Feel free to swap out maple syrup for agave or your favorite sweetener if you prefer something different.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep extra coconut water on hand for those hot days when I need a quick refreshment.
- •For a twist, try adding a splash of sparkling water for some fizz!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I toss in a handful of fresh berries for a fruity twist, and it’s so delightful!
- •You could also blend it all with a banana for a smoothie version—creamy and delicious!
Storage & Freezing
This refresher is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before serving again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can mix the coconut water, lime juice, and syrup in advance, but I’d recommend adding ice and mint just before serving to keep everything fresh.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by juicing your fresh limes until you have about 1/4 cup of juice. If you have a juicer, that makes it super easy, but a simple hand juicer works just fine.
- 2
In a pitcher, combine the coconut water, lime juice, and maple syrup. Give it a good stir to mix everything well.
- 3
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if you'd like. Remember, the lime can be tart!
- 4
Fill two glasses with ice cubes (if using), and pour the coconut-lime mixture over the ice.
- 5
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a refreshing scent. You can also muddle a few mint leaves in the bottom of the glass before adding the drink for an extra minty flavor.

Sip and enjoy! It’s even better shared with a friend.
