Makes: One 12-ounce drink

Ingredients

• Honey, for the glass rim
• Toasted coconut, for the glass rim
• 1/2 cup Honey Lime Syrup, recipe below
• 1/2 cup plain coconut water
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• Ice cubes
• Cold sparkling water, to finish

Honey Lime Syrup

Combine equal parts honey, water, and freshly squeezed lime juice in a small saucepan. Warm over low to medium heat, stirring just until the honey dissolves. Cool completely before using.

For this drink, make at least 1/2 cup syrup. Refrigerate extra syrup in a covered container for up to seven days.

How to Make a Honey Lime Coconut Mocktail

1. Prepare the glass. Lightly brush honey around the rim, then dip it into toasted coconut.
2. Shake the drink. Add the Honey Lime Syrup, coconut water, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled.
3. Pour and finish. Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Add a splash of cold sparkling water.
4. Serve immediately. Garnish with a lime wheel if desired.

Tips and Easy Variations

• Chill the coconut water and sparkling water before mixing.
• For a less sweet drink, begin with less syrup and add more to taste.
• Use plain, unsweetened coconut water so you control the sweetness.
• Make a larger batch of syrup ahead for quick mocktails throughout the week.

Best Honey for This Mocktail

Orange Blossom Honey is a natural match for lime and coconut because its gentle citrus-floral flavor adds sweetness without covering the drink’s fresh tropical notes.
