Main Ingredients
- 3 cups unflavored coconut water
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon Redmond’s real salt or Himalayan salt
- 1 lime, juiced (optional)
- 1 can or bottle sparkling mineral water (optional)
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the coconut water, freshly grated ginger, honey or maple syrup, salt, and lime juice if using. Blend the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, about 1 minute.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a larger storage container to remove ginger pieces, ensuring a smooth drink.
- Serve: Fill a glass with ice, pour the strained electrolyte drink over the ice, and top off with approximately 2 ounces of sparkling mineral water or to taste for added fizz and refreshment.
Notes

- The lime juice is optional but adds a fresh citrus flavor and extra vitamin C.
- Using sparkling mineral water adds a pleasant effervescence but can be omitted if preferred.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
