Coconut Lime Cooler - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made this Coconut Lime Cooler; it was a sunny afternoon, and I was dreaming of the beach.

The combination of coconut and lime always brings me back to those carefree days.

This drink is not just refreshing, it’s also a reminder to savor the simple joys in life.

Plus, it’s super easy to whip up, which makes it a go-to for any gathering!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Coconut water is such a hydrating base for this drink, and if you can find it fresh, it’s even better! If you don’t have coconut water, you can use plain water, but you’ll miss that tropical vibe. I love using fresh mint, but feel free to omit it if you’re not a fan—maybe try basil instead for a twist!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my mint in a glass of water in the fridge to keep it fresh longer.
  • If you're feeling fancy, try adding a splash of rum for an adult version!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a handful of frozen berries for a fruity twist!
  • You can also swap lime juice for lemon juice if you want a different citrusy flavor.

Storage & Freezing

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a day. Just remember to add fresh ice when you serve it again, as it might lose some of that fizzy charm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can mix the coconut water, lime juice, and syrup in advance, but I’d suggest adding the sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by juicing your limes. You'll need about half a cup of fresh lime juice, so grab those limes and squeeze away!

  2. 2

    In a pitcher, combine the coconut water, fresh lime juice, and maple syrup. Stir well until everything is mixed.

  3. 3

    Next, add the bruised mint leaves to the mixture. I usually tap them with the back of a spoon to release their lovely aroma.

  4. 4

    Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.

  5. 5

    Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water for a bubbly twist, and give it a gentle stir.

  6. 6

    Serve the cooler over ice cubes in your favorite glasses, and garnish with extra mint leaves or lime slices for a pretty touch!
