Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 16 g fresh mint leaves lightly bruised
• 400 g ice cubes for serving
• 720 ml coconut water chilled
• 120 ml fresh lime juice strained
• 240 ml cold sparkling water chilled
• 1 each lime cut into 4 wedges

Instructions

1. Divide the mint leaves between the 4 serving glasses and bruise them lightly with the back of a spoon to release aroma. The mint smells fragrant and looks slightly crushed.
2. Add 100 g ice cubes to each glass. Each glass is about half to two-thirds full with ice and still has room for liquid.
3. In a measuring jug, combine the coconut water and lime juice, then stir in the sparkling water gently to keep some fizz. The drink looks evenly mixed with a light sparkle.
4. Pour 250 ml of the mixture into each glass over the ice. Each glass is filled with a chilled, pale tropical drink and does not overflow.
5. Garnish each glass with 1 lime wedge and serve immediately. The lime wedges are perched on the rim and the drink is cold.
