Strawberry Coconut Water Tequila Smash
This Strawberry Coconut Water Tequila Smash is a refreshing cocktail filled with fresh strawberries, mint, a touch of lime juice, coconut water, and tequila!
Oh hi! I’ve got the perfect warm weather drink for you today:
Strawberry Coconut Water Tequila Smash.
It’s simple, delicious, and absolutely FABULOUS – trust me, you’re going to love this one.
Plus, it’s made with tequila, which is perfect timing since Cinco de Mayo is in a few days.
I love using fresh fruit in cocktails and I especially love smashes because you can cut down on added sugars by skipping out on the simple syrup. A tablespoon of sugar is all you need.
My favorite part about this drink (aside from the tequila) is that it is sooo easy to make.
First, you muddle strawberries with a pinch of sugar and mint. Then you add some lime juice, tequila, and top with coconut water. Pour over ice and DONE!
