Ingredients
Scale
For the Lemon Mint Cooler
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup (or honey)
- 4 mint leaves
- 1 lemon round
- 3 ounces coconut water
- 3 ounces club soda
Instructions
- Muddle the ingredients: In a highball glass, combine the lemon juice, simple syrup (or honey), mint leaves, and lemon round. Use a muddler to gently press and crush the mint leaves and lemon round until the mixture is aromatic and the flavors start to blend.
- Add ice and liquids: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill. Pour in the coconut water followed by the club soda. These add hydration and a light fizz to balance the sourness and sweetness.
- Stir and serve: Gently stir the drink to mix all ingredients evenly without losing the carbonation from the club soda. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant, and refreshing flavors at their best.
Notes
- Simple syrup can be replaced with honey or another liquid sweetener of choice to adjust sweetness.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
- For a stronger mint flavor, add extra mint leaves or muddle slightly longer but avoid over-muddling, which can cause bitterness.
- Chill the glass beforehand for an even more refreshing experience.
- Adjust the amount of club soda to preference for fizz level.
- Use natural coconut water to keep the drink light and hydrating.
