Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so here’s the scoop on what you need. Picture us at the grocery store, chatting about life and I’m like, “Grab a bunch of fresh mint, like 10 leaves should do it.” And then we need a lime—one juicy lime, please. Oh, and sugar! Just 2 tablespoons—don’t get crazy with it, we’re not making candy! Then, coconut water—trust me, it’s the magic here. And ice cubes, duh! Don’t forget mint sprigs and lime slices for that Instagrammable finish. 🥳

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. I started making these during lockdown because, OMG, a girl needed her summer vibes while stuck at home! I’d sit on my balcony, sipping this beauty and pretending I was on a beach with a good book. 🏖️ It was a whole mood! Plus, my friends loved it when I’d make a batch for our Zoom hangouts. They’d be all, “This is so refreshing!” And I’d just smirk because I was basically a cocktail genius.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The key to getting that mint flavor just right? Muddling. You gotta really muddle those mint leaves and lime wedges with the sugar. Don’t just poke at them—give them some love! Smash ‘em until you smell that minty goodness wafting up. It makes all the difference, I swear.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, here’s where I save you from my mistakes:
1. Fresh mint is a MUST. Don’t even think about dried mint. That’s just sad.
2. Don’t over-sweeten! Like, trust your taste buds. Start with 2 tablespoons, try it, then adjust.
3. Chill your coconut water. Warm coconut water is just… no. It ruins the vibe!
4. Ice is your friend! Use enough so it’s cold but not drowning your drink.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, here’s the thing—these are best fresh. But if you MUST save some, make the base (mint, lime, sugar) ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a day. When you want one, just add the ice and coconut water. But honestly, they’re so good, they won’t last long anyway!
