This refreshing and hydrating coffee drink is a lovely combination of coffee, coconut water, and coconut cream. Perfect for summertime (or anytime!)---- The Nourishing Gourmet

Sweet coconut water, creamy coconut cream, and dark coffee are combined for a surprisingly delicious coffee drink that is refreshing!

I love hydrating drinks during the hot summer months. The problem with coffee is that the caffeine acts as a diuretic, so ends up not being the best beverage when trying to stay hydrated. This drink combines coffee with they very hydrating coconut water, which is why it’s not only delicious, but refreshing as well.

A couple notes on the ingredients:

Coffee:

My favorite coffee to use in this recipe is espresso. We use our stovetop espresso maker (I talk about it, and 3 other “plastic free” coffee making methods here), as we don’t have a fancy espresso maker. I like using espresso best as it allows you to use more of the coconut water per cup.
However, we’ve also tried it with double strength French Press (use the same amount of coffee grounds and only half the water) and, cold brew coffee as well. All work and are delicious.

Coconut Cream:

I’ve been avoiding the additives in many of the canned coconut milks. Thankfully, I found that (Amazon Affiliate link) Aroy-D Coconut Cream is really delicious, as well as additive-free.

Other Healthy Beverage Recipes:

  • Stress Relieving Lemon Balm Lavender Iced Tea 
  • Dairy Free Pina Colada
  • Ginger Coconut Apple Cider  
  • Vanilla Lemonade
  • Paleo Pumpkin Pie Latte
  • Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte

Coconut Coffee Cooler

You can also sweeten this more, if desired, but we found the natural sweetness from the coconut water and cream perfect for us.

Ingredients:

  • 2 shots of espresso, ½ cup of double strength coffee or cold brew concentrate
  • Coconut Water
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut cream or full fat coconut milk

1. In a large glass, stir together the warm coffee and coconut cream or milk (I add the coconut cream at this point so that it melts completely into the coffee.)
2. Fill the glass ¾ full of ice.
3. Pour coconut water to the top. Stir, and enjoy!

    Hi Kimberly,

    One question – I bought the coconut cream you recommended, and really like. One problem – according to the label, once opened, it lasts only 2 days! And it only comes in rather large (32 oz I think) cartons. I don’t think I can use that much coconut cream in 2 days.

    Any words of wisdom?

    Thanks so much!
    Lisa

      Hey Lisa,

      Well, can I admit that I keep mine in the refrigerator for about 5 days?! I have frozen it before though, to keep it longer.
