Can I make this drink ahead of time?
Yes, blend the kiwi, cucumber, and lime juice up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate. Add coconut water and ice just before serving to prevent separation and maintain texture.
What can I substitute for coconut water?
Use plain water, sparkling water, coconut milk (diluted with water), or fresh-pressed apple juice for a sweeter version.
Do I need to peel the cucumber?
Peeling is optional. Leave the skin for extra nutrients and fiber, or peel for a smoother texture and milder flavor.
Can I scale this recipe?
Yes, scale all ingredient amounts proportionally. A single batch (shown) makes about 2โ3 servings.
Is this recipe vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, all ingredients are naturally vegan and gluten-free.
