 Easy Coconut Mocktail

This coconut water mocktail is a copycat of a drink I got on our babymoon in Hawaii. It's super refreshing, healthy-ish, and full of summer flavors like coconut and lemonade.

Q: What's the difference between coconut water and coconut cream?

A: Coconut water is just the liquid inside of a coconut. Coconut cream is a combination of coconut meat and coconut water, so it's higher in fat than plain coconut water and takes on a solid form.

Q: Is this mocktail dairy free?

A: It is! It's made with coconut cream instead of dairy cream, so it's totally free of dairy.

Q: What is coconut water?

A: Coconut water is exactly what it sounds like: the liquid that's found inside of a coconut. It's low in sugar and calories and has electrolytes, which makes it great for staying hydrated on a hot summer day.
