Instructions
- Prepare the Limes: Cut 2 limes into thin slices for garnish. Juice the remaining limes to get approximately 1 oz of lime juice.
- Muddle: In a sturdy glass, muddle the lime slices with sugar to release the juices and blend the flavors.
- Mix: Transfer the muddled lime and sugar into a cocktail shaker. Add ice, the1oz of lime juice, and 4oz of coconut water.
- Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine.
- Serve: Fill two glasses with crushed ice. Pour the shaken mixture over the ice, then top each glass with club soda or sparkling water.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Stir gently and garnish with a lime slice or a sprig of mint.
Notes
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh due to its effervescence. If needed, store in the fridge in a sealed container but consume soon as the drink will become flat.
- Recipe Tip: For the best flavor balance, add lime juice gradually and taste as you go to ensure it's not too tart. Adjust the sweetness with additional sugar if needed.
