How to Mix Summer Berry Coconut Splash
Fresh, ripe summer berries gathered from local markets or garden patches create the foundation of this vibrant tropical drink. Select plump, deeply colored blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries bursting with natural sweetness.
Rinse berries gently under cool water, letting them drain completely. Place berries and ice cubes into a sleek blender, ensuring each piece nestles comfortably against the blade.
Pour pure coconut water over the berry and ice mixture. The tropical liquid will infuse the fruits with a subtle, refreshing undertone that transforms the drink into a paradise-inspired sensation.
Activate the blender and pulse slowly, then increase to high speed. Watch as the berries and coconut water swirl together, creating a mesmerizing deep purple-red blend with flecks of berry texture.
Pour the vibrant mixture into a chilled glass, allowing the drink’s rich colors to catch the light. Garnish with a few whole berries floating on top for an elegant, Instagram-worthy presentation.
