Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade summer drink blending tart lemon with creamy coconut for a cool, slushy, and refreshing beverage perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh lemons (for about 1 cup fresh lemon juice)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 2 cups (about 300 grams) ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or agave syrup), adjust to taste
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, a small handful)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut in half and juice until you have about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp for a smooth beverage.
  2. Make simple syrup if using: combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves, then cool. This step can be skipped if using honey or agave syrup.
  3. Add the fresh lemon juice, coconut milk, cold water, sweetener, ice cubes, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Add fresh mint leaves if using.
  4. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds or until the ice is crushed and the mixture is frothy and slushy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed for an even blend.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or water as needed, then blend briefly again if adjustments are made.
  6. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with a lemon wheel or a sprig of mint.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor. Adjust sweetener gradually to avoid over-sweetening. For extra thick texture, freeze coconut milk in ice cube trays and use those cubes. Chill glasses before serving to keep drink colder longer. If blender struggles with ice, crush ice separately or use smaller cubes. Variations include adding frozen berries, ginger, cayenne, or alcohol for different twists.
