Recipe Notes

Flavor Twists to Try 

Let’s be honest—one mocktail recipe is never enough. Try these citrusy spins on coconut water with whatever you’ve got on hand:  

Tropical Island Mocktail 

  • True Orange + coconut milk + splash of pineapple juice 
  • Creamy, dreamy, and totally beachy 

Berry Citrus Cooler 

  • True Lemon + muddled fresh strawberries + coconut water 
  • Sweet-tart perfection with a fruity finish 

Zesty Mint Refresher 

  • True Lime + fresh mint + splash of ginger beer 
  • A sharp, bubbly drink that feels ultra-fancy 

Sunset Spritzer 

  • True Lime + orange juice + tonic water 
  • For a layered, citrusy glow-up 

These water mocktail recipes are flexible, fast, and fun. You can build a drink with what’s in your fridge or toss a few packets in your bag for mocktails on the go.  

Pro tip: mix a few ahead and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a shake before serving. 

Why We Love It 

Coconut water is kind of a hydration hero. It’s naturally packed with electrolytes, potassium, and health benefits that make it way more exciting than plain water—especially when you’re looking to beat the heat or rehydrate after a workout.  

Paired with True Citrus, which adds real citrus flavor without calories or artificial ingredients, you get a coconut water drink that’s seriously refreshing and way more exciting than anything you'd grab from the grocery store shelf.
