Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (16 fl oz / 475 ml) coconut water
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Preparation: Rinse berries under cool water, ensuring complete cleansing of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Blending Foundation: Load cleaned berries into a high-powered blender, adding ice cubes to establish a crisp, chilled base.
- Liquid Integration: Pour coconut water over the berry-ice mixture, creating a harmonious liquid foundation.
- Texture Transformation: Activate blender’s pulse function initially, then switch to high-speed for 45-60 seconds, pulverizing ingredients into a smooth, vibrant purple-red mixture.
- Flavor Calibration: Assess the drink’s taste, adjusting sweetness with natural sweetener or additional coconut water if needed.
- Presentation: Transfer the blended beverage into a chilled glass, allowing momentary settling.
- Finishing Touch: Optionally crown the drink with whole berries or a mint leaf, elevating both visual and aromatic dimensions.
Notes
- Maximize Berry Freshness: Choose ripe, firm berries without bruises or soft spots for the most vibrant flavor and nutritional punch.
- Blending Technique Matters: Pulse first to break down berries, then blend on high to achieve a smooth, consistent texture without over-processing.
- Temperature Control: Use ice cubes and chilled glasses to maintain the drink’s refreshing quality and prevent rapid temperature rise.
- Customization Tip: Experiment with sweetness levels by adding honey, agave, or stevia to suit personal taste preferences without overwhelming the natural berry flavors.
