This Easy Coconut Martini Mocktail Recipe is icy, creamy, and feels very sophisticated and tropical all at once!

I grew up in Miami, Florida, and cracking coconuts open to drink sweet coconut juice was a favorite activity. The white coconut meat was so fresh and delicious! This was way before drinking coconut water was a ‘thing’! Your options to crack a coconut involve removing the husk and throwing the hard coconut shell on the street to crack it open or hitting it with a hammer. If you want to drink the coconut water first, you can pry open the soft coconut eyes and sip away. I am sure there are many more professional ways to pry open a coconut than my early childhood happenings.

I love the taste of coconut, and when Steve and I go to Maui, I always order a Chi Chi without pineapple juice. I have been making Mocktails lately, which got me thinking about how to construct a virgin coconut Martini.

If you haven’t ventured into Mocktails yet, a ‘Mocktail’ is a mixed non-alcoholic cocktail. On nights when you want something adult and refreshing but don’t want alcohol, it’s a lovely alternative. Mocktails are also having a ‘moment’! A lot of restaurants now offer Mocktails on their menus. I was at El Dorado Kitchen in Sonoma Saturday, and we went wine tasting before dinner. I didn’t want another glass of wine, so I ordered a Mojito Mocktail. It came to the table all fancy, and everyone wanted a taste. It was delicious!

This coconut mocktail beckons a vacation soon!

5 Simple Ingredients For This Delicious Drink

Organic Coconut Milk – I used Full Fat Organic Guar Gum Free Coconut Milk
Pelligrino or any Sparkling Water – This is an excellent substitute for alcohol in this mocktail.
Ice
Maple Syrup – This added a warm sweetness without being overpowering
Lime – juice of a fresh lime

I used a classic Martini Shaker. That just added to the whole vibe.

How To Make The Coconut Martini Mocktail

Buy the best coconut milk possible. I used Organic Guar Gum Free Unsweetened Coconut Milk. I blended it in a high-speed blender, so it was beautifully creamy.

Place 1 cup of the Blended Coconut Milk, 2 Cups of Ice, 2 Tablespoons of Pure Maple Syrup, and 2 Cups of Sparkling Water with the Juice of 1/2 Lime in a

Martini Shaker. Shake for a minute and then strain the mixture into 2 Martini Glasses.

Variations on this Mocktail

Make it into a Pina Colada Mocktail by adding Pineapple Juice instead of Sparkling Water.
You can use Coconut Water for a lighter version of this drink.
You can also omit the Maple Syrup or use Honey Instead

Can you make a Keto Version of this Mocktail?

Yes! If you would like a LOW CARB Coconut Martini Mocktail, then leave out the Maple Syrup.

Cocktail Party Ideas with Your Mocktail

We always have wine, sparkling water, and a Mocktail out when we entertain. Many people in the Bay Area drive long distances, and having a non-alcohol drink option is always appreciated.

I served a Sparkling Cherry Spritzer recently with a Riccotta Board appetizer.

So I hope this has encouraged you to jump on the Mocktail bandwagon. Drinking too much is easy, and having a refreshing, healthy-ish drink makes an appealing option. Since I live in the ‘wine country,’ every event involves wine and lots of it. I get a migraine if I drink more than two glasses of wine, so I appreciate these alcohol-free alternatives. Also, it’s the Mediterranean Diet way to do everything in moderation!
