Zest the lime without going too deep into the white pith (bitter in taste). Then squeeze the juice out of the lime using a citrus squeezer.Note: Comes out to about a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Mix together the freshly lime juice, lime zest, lime simple syrup, and coconut water in a separate cup.Note: Recipe for homemade lime simple syrup is linked in the ingredients.
Add the desired amount of ice into the 2 serving glasses, and then pour over an equally divided amount of the prepared coconut lime water in each glass.
Next, evenly top each glass with sparkling water, and give it a gentle stir.
Garnish with mint sprigs before serving.

Quality Coconut Water: Use pure coconut water (free of added sugars) for the most natural and delicious tropical flavor.
Chilled Sparkling Water: Make sure the sparkling water is thoroughly chilled to maintain the effervescence in your coconut water mocktail.
Stir Carefully: Remember to stir the sparkling water gently to preserve its carbonation.
Taste and Adjust: Always taste the mixed drink before serving, and adjust the lime juice or simple syrup as needed.
