🍇🥥 Blackberry Coconut Refresher
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberry juice
- 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or simple syrup, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice
- Fresh blackberries and lime slices, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Blackberry Mixture
- Add the blackberry juice, ½ cup of the fresh blackberries, honey, and lime juice to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- For a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the blackberry seeds.
2. Prepare the Coconut Layer
- Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening.
- Pour the coconut milk into a bowl or measuring cup.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon honey or syrup if you’d like it sweeter.
3. Assemble
- Fill four glasses with ice.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into each glass, filling about two-thirds full.
- Slowly pour the coconut milk over the back of a spoon into each glass. This creates the beautiful blackberry-and-coconut swirl.
- Gently stir once or twice for a marbled effect.
4. Garnish & Serve
Top with fresh blackberries and a lime slice. Serve immediately while ice-cold.
💜 Tips
- For a fizzier refresher, replace ½ cup of the blackberry juice with chilled sparkling water.
- For a thicker, smoothie-style drink, blend the blackberries with the coconut milk and ice.
- Add a few mint leaves for an extra-refreshing flavor.
- If your coconut milk separates, simply whisk or shake it thoroughly before using.
