TIPS
- Use Fresh Lime: Freshly squeezed lime juice has a brighter, more natural taste than bottled juice.
- Chill For Better Flavour: Use chilled coconut water to enhance refreshment and reduce the need for ice.
- No Stirring Needed If Blended: If preparing in large batches, blend briefly to combine evenly.
- Add Lime Zest: For an extra citrus aroma, include a small pinch of lime zest.
- Serve In A Tall Glass: Presentation matters. Serve in a clear tall glass with a slice of lime on the rim.
VARIATIONS
- Mint Infusion: Add 2 to 3 fresh mint leaves for a herbal freshness.
- Coconut Lime Fizz: Top with a splash of sparkling water for a bubbly version.
- Spice It Up: A tiny pinch of cayenne can enhance metabolism and warm the palate.
- Tropical Boost: Mix in a dash of pineapple juice for a sweeter, tropical twist.
- Electrolyte Enhancer: Add a pinch of sea salt to boost mineral content post-workout.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Short-Term Storage: Store in a sealed glass bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Shake Before Use: Lime may settle; shake gently before drinking.
- Freezing Option: Freeze in ice cube trays and add to other drinks for flavour and hydration.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare a batch in the evening to have a ready-to-go refreshment in the morning.
- Avoid Metal Containers: Use BPA-free plastic or glass containers to retain natural flavour.
