Refreshing Mocktail – Coconut Lime Fizz Cooler

Nothing like a cool refreshing drink on a hot, summer day. Focusing on your health? Watching calories? Instead of a cocktail, enjoy this coconut lime mocktail. However, if you want to ‘spike it’, there’s room for a treat once in a while too. 🙂

Coconut Lime Fizz Cooler

Serves: 4

Prep time: 5 mins

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup fresh squeeze lime juice
• ½ cup thick coconut milk (I used only the cream the rose to the top)
• 1½ tablespoon raw honey (adjust to sweetness you prefer)
• 1 cup ice
• 1 cup Topo Chico (or other sparkling water)
• For the rim of the glass
• extra lime juice
• 1 tablespoon maple sugar
• For garnishes
• extra sliced limes
• fresh mint

DIRECTIONS

1. In a blender, blend together lime juice, coconut milk, honey and ice until completely smooth.
   Pour in sparkling water into the blender and stir with a spoon.
2. Dip the rims of 4 small glasses or champagne flutes into lime juice then into maple sugar.
3. Pour coconut lime fizz into flutes and garnish with limes and mint.
4. Serve immediately!
5. Notes: If you want to put alcohol in this, that taste good too. Try some Hendrick’s gin or some rum, if you prefer! Or vodka. Or tequila. Ok, really any alcohol.
