This coconut water and lime rickey is a sophisticated, low-sugar alternative to traditional fizzy drinks. By combining the natural electrolytes of chilled coconut water with the sharp zing of fresh lime juice, it creates a light and hydrating pick-me-up that is perfect for warm afternoons. The optional addition of a few drops of bitters adds a complex, aromatic depth that balances the subtle sweetness without the need for refined sugars or syrups.
