How to Make It: Shake, Pour, and Top
Start by combining ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of Syruvia Coconut Syrup (Pure Cane or Sugar-Free) in a shaker or mixing glass. Stir well to form a smooth, sweet-and-tart citrus base.
Next, pour in ½ cup of coconut milk and mix it in to add a creamy, tropical twist that balances the sharpness of the lemon.

Fill a tall glass with ice and slowly pour the mixture over it, allowing the cool layers to settle.
Top your drink with 1 tablespoon of Syruvia Toasted Coconut Shakeable Topping to add a fun, crunchy contrast and rich coconut finish.

FAQs About Coconut Lemonade
Can I use coconut water instead of coconut milk?

Can I skip the syrup?
It’s not recommended. The syrup adds both sweetness and coconut depth essential to the flavor profile.
How far in advance can I make this?
You can make the base up to a day ahead. Add ice and topping right before serving.
Can I use bottled lemon juice?
Fresh lemon juice is strongly preferred for best flavor, but bottled will work in a pinch.
Can I make this fizzy?
Yes, swap out still water for sparkling water for a bubbly version.
