Creamy, tart, a touch of sweet, and bubbly, this coconut fizz mocktail will knock your socks off. It’s absolutely delicious and always a crowd-pleaser! So much that, I even made it for a dear friend’s baby shower (Juli of PaleOMG!). She loved it, and her guests loved it, too.
What is a mocktail?
The word “mocktail” is a fun play on “cocktail” and is (as it sounds) a mock (or fake) cocktail. Mocktails can be sparkly, fun, and festive just like their cocktail cousins but do not actually contain any alcohol. We love having a couple of mocktail options available at gatherings for anyone who prefers an alcohol-free beverage. While most cocktails can be made into a mocktail by omitting the alcohol and subbing in sparkling water or kombucha (find our full mocktail how-to here), we love having a a few tasty recipes that originated as mocktails.
Ingredients
The ingredients here are super simple. Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk
- ¾ cup of fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup

Ingredient Modifications
While this mocktail is delicious as written, it’s also really easy to customize to your liking! Here are a few of our favorite ideas:
- Use a different citrus – swap the lime juice for grapefruit or orange juice.

- Use flavored sparkling water – jazz your mocktail up with flavored sparkling water – feel free to play!
How to Make a Coconut Mocktail
The process is incredibly simple – you’ll just add the coconut milk, lime juice, and maple syrup to a jar and stir to combine. Then, pour the mixture into glasses, top each glass with sparkling water, garnish, and enjoy!
Little side note: If you find your coconut milk firming up when combined with the lime juice, put a lid on your jar and give it a quick shake until smooth!

I haven’t tried this recipe, but I wanted to comment that I make something like this but I use coconut fizzy water and pineapple juice – it’s my mock pina colada
That sounds delicious, Chrissy!
it wasnt great, something’s missing. it’s okay with a crap ton of syrup and a banana but otherwise not for me
looks nice though
We are so sorry you weren’t a fan, Matthew! We really appreciate your feedback!
After juicing a lot of limes, I made a small batch and – as my brilliant wife predicted – the coconut milk CURDLED. We made something else. Is this an AI-created recipe?
Hi Scott! We’re so sorry this was your experience, but no, this is not an AI-created recipe (none of our recipes are). As with every recipe on the website, this one has been tested in our studio kitchen many times, including the time we photographed it for the article.
I agree with the others. The lime taste was too strong and we lost the taste of the coconut. I added a little bit of syrup to make it all right, but next time I will look for another recipe sadly.
So sorry you didn’t enjoy this one, Mylene. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
Should I use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?
This didn’t taste good. It’s definitely missing something ..
So sorry you didn’t love this one, Lisa! Thank you for the feedback.
Yeah my friends and I agreed that it didn’t taste good. the citrus was overwhelming. The coconut didn’t come through. Maybe this would be better with coconut cream and not coconut milk. I even tried to fix it with more syrup but nah. This is a pass
This looks wonderful! I was wondering about how much of the concoction you put in the glass before you add the sparkling water?
Hi Leesa! I would say about 3/4 full, then top with sparkling water. You can adjust more or less depending on how much fizz you want to have. Enjoy! -Team FF
