FAQ
Can I make the Limeade Coconut Cooler ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix the coconut milk and lime juice in advance. However, add the ice and garnishes when you’re ready to serve to maintain that frothy freshness.
Are there any other sweetener alternatives?
Absolutely. Maple syrup can be a delightful alternative, adding a slightly woodsy note that still complements the bright lime beautifully.
So the next time life gives you limes, whip out that blender and throw them into your very own Limeade Coconut Cooler.
