5 Coconut Water And Lemongrass Mocktails For Ultimate Tropical Vibes
Coconut water is very light and mildly sweet. Although it has a smooth, nearly watery texture, it has a chilly, faintly nutty flavour. If it were a beverage, it would taste like a tropical. Depending on how young or old the coconut is, certain varieties may have a slight saltiness, but it's not masking. It pairs well with fruits, tangy herbs, or pungent spices because of its watery taste. The nicest part is that it gives any mocktail or drink a tropical atmosphere without being overly rich or heavy.
Coming to lemongrass, the herb is low-key and less well-known. Although it tastes somewhat like lemon, lemongrass has a robust, citrusy flavour. It tastes slightly greener, more peppery, and more herbal. Lemongrass is like lemon zest with a hint of mint and green tea. It functions as a taste enhancer and brightens any beverage or meal.

5 Mocktails To Discover With Coconut Water And Lemongrass
Lemongrass Lime Cooler Mocktail – Crisp, Bright, And Zesty
The mocktail is crisp with a trendy citrussy herbal note of lemongrass. It tastes like lemon but has an earthy, peppery, and green scent that is reminiscent of a spring garden. The subtle sweetness of coconut water, which tastes light rather than sweet, smooths it down. With a brief burst of citrus, the lime balances the entire cocktail. Ideal for languid breakfasts, sunny days, or any occasion!
Learn How To Create It:
- Using a muddler, gently crush two lemongrass stalks and cut them into little pieces. Pour into a shaker.
- To extract the oils from the lemongrass, add 10 ml of fresh lime juice and muddle once more.
- Add 15 ml of simple syrup, 30 ml of chilled soda water, and 10 ml of coconut water.
- To mix, add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Pour through a strainer into a tall highball glass that has been chilled and filled with clear ice cubes. Pour 10 ml of soda water on top.
Presentation & Garnish: Use an entire lemongrass stalk as a stir stick and slide a narrow lime wheel onto the rim. The highball glass allows the drink's green-gold hue to be seen while maintaining a tight carbonation.
Tropical Lemongrass Mocktail – Sweet, Silky, And Like A Sunset
The mocktail can be a nice start for a beach holiday. Lemongrass's lemon-herb zing keeps things lifted, and coconut water lends a soft, nutty sweetness. A luscious, tropical flavour from pineapple juice positively envelops the texture.
Learn How To Create It:
