Make-Ahead Tip

Both the strawberry layer and blueberry layer can be blended up to 24 hours ahead and stored separately in the refrigerator. Give each mixture a quick stir before serving, as natural fruit separation is normal. This makes it an easy option for Fourth of July parties and summer gatherings.

Serve it extra cold and fun.
For a more festive twist, try using flavored ice cubes instead of regular ice. I share how to make them in my guide on how to make flavored ice cubes, which is perfect for adding extra flavor without watering down your mocktail.

Trish’s Tips

• Use frozen fruit for the best flavor and texture: Frozen strawberries and blueberries help create a colder, more refreshing drink without watering it down.
• Chill your ingredients beforehand: Cold coconut water and frozen fruit help keep the drink refreshing and prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
• Adjust the sweetness to taste: Depending on your fruit and coconut water, you may prefer to add a little honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
• Use clear glasses for the best presentation: The vibrant red and blue colors are part of what makes this drink so fun for summer parties and Fourth of July celebrations.
• Don’t skip the pinch of sea salt: A tiny pinch of Celtic sea salt can help enhance the fruit flavors and balance the sweetness without making the drink taste salty. It also contains trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
• Make it your own: Try garnishing with fresh berries, mint leaves, lime slices, or a festive paper straw for an extra-special presentation.
