Print Recipe

A crisp, light, and revitalizing summer drink combining fresh lemon juice with natural coconut water, sweetened lightly and finished with fresh mint for a refreshing boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh lemons, juiced (about 1 cup/240 ml lemon juice)
  • 3 cups (720 ml) natural coconut water, chilled
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) honey or maple syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold filtered water
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped or bruised
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons on the counter to soften, then cut in half and juice using a citrus juicer to get about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain if you prefer pulp-free lemonade.
  2. In a pitcher, stir the honey or maple syrup into the lemon juice until fully dissolved. Warm slightly if needed to dissolve faster.
  3. Add the 3 cups (720 ml) chilled coconut water and 1 cup (240 ml) cold filtered water to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add a pinch of sea salt and stir again to enhance flavors.
  5. Tear or bruise a handful of fresh mint leaves and add to the pitcher. Stir gently. Optionally muddle the mint slightly for stronger flavor.
  6. Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes or serve immediately. For best flavor, let sit 20-30 minutes to meld.
  7. Garnish each glass with a lemon wheel or a sprig of mint before serving.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature lemon juice for better blending with sweetener.’, ‘Do not skip the pinch of sea salt to boost flavor.’, ‘Adjust sweetness gradually to taste.’, ‘Keep coconut water cold to maintain refreshing quality.’, ‘Lightly bruise mint leaves to release aroma without bitterness.’, ‘For a fizzy variation, replace cold filtered water with sparkling water.’, ‘Store lemonade in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; best consumed within 24 hours.’, ‘Avoid microwaving to preserve fresh lemon and coconut flavors.’]
