Coconut Lime Agua Fresca - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I tried agua fresca while visiting a little café in Mexico.

It was such a simple drink, yet it was bursting with flavor and freshness.

This Coconut Lime Agua Fresca has become my go-to for summer gatherings or a quiet afternoon on the patio.

I love how easy it is to whip up, and it’s such a delightful way to hydrate with a tropical twist!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep a few extra lime wedges on hand for garnish - they look pretty and add a fresh aroma when serving.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a splash of sparkling water just before serving for some fizz!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I throw in a handful of berries like strawberries or blueberries for a fruity version.
  • If I'm feeling adventurous, I might add a splash of ginger juice for a little zing!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by juicing your limes. I usually roll them on the countertop first to get the juices flowing.

  2. 2

    In a large pitcher, combine the coconut water, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave syrup.

  3. 3

    Stir the mixture well until the agave syrup is fully dissolved. You can taste it here and adjust the sweetness if you like.

  4. 4

    If you’re using mint, gently muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of the pitcher to release their oils before adding the coconut-lime mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill the agua fresca in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  6. 6

    Serve it over ice, garnished with additional mint leaves or lime wedges if you’re feeling fancy!
