Step-by-Step Blue Coconut Drink Recipe

How to Build the Perfect Layered Blue Coconut Mocktail

Making this blue coconut water recipe is genuinely effortless. Start by filling a tall clear glass to the top with ice. Squeeze one fresh lime directly over the ice. Pour your chilled Jans 100 Percent Coconut Water slowly over the lime and ice until the glass is about three-quarters full.

Now for the magic. Mix your blue spirulina into a small splash of coconut water in a separate cup until fully dissolved. Then pour it slowly down the inside edge of the glass. Watch it drift downward through the coconut water in a gorgeous, moody gradient. That moment never gets old.

If you are using non-alcoholic blue curaçao, simply pour it gently over the back of a spoon held at the surface of the drink. Same stunning effect.

Pro Tips for Getting That Stunning Blue Gradient Every Time

Pour slowly. Cold ingredients hold layers better than warm ones. Use a tall, narrow glass to maximize the visual depth. Serve immediately before the layers blend. The gradient fades within minutes, which honestly makes drinking it feel a little more urgent and a lot more fun.
