The first time I threw this together was in the sticky heat of July Now just a whiff of nutmeg reminds me of sun soaked afternoons and backyard hangs

The first chilly gulp with that nutmeg fluff is my favorite move Sometimes I’ll whip up just one but it’s always a bigger hit when I share with a couple friends out in the yard
Keep It Fresh
This one’s best right from the blender but if you need stash the coconut mix in your fridge for a day Just blend or stir before you pour and only add ice at serving so it stays cold and bubbly
Swap Stuff If Needed
Dial down the maple if you like your drinks less sweet Or use agave or honey if that’s what’s handy Want to switch things up Toss in a dash of cinnamon or cardamom along with the nutmeg
How To Serve
Pair these with wedges of pineapple or mango for extra summer points For parties top with lime or mint sprigs It’s a perfect no booze drink for brunch or sunny get togethers

Common Questions
- → Is it okay to use coconut water that's already sweetened?
Sure thing! Just make sure to taste and maybe add less maple syrup since sweetened coconut water amps up the sugar.
- → What's a good swap for maple syrup?
Agave nectar or honey both work. They'll tweak the taste a little, but still yummy!
- → How do I get this drink super frosty?
Chill your coconut milk and water first. Load up on ice cubes or pop your glasses in the freezer awhile before pouring.
- → Is it possible to make this in advance?
Definitely. Blend everything, keep it in the fridge, and just add ice when you're about to drink so it stays fresh.
- → What's the nutmeg doing here anyway?
Nutmeg gives off that warm, inviting scent and bumps up the coconut and maple flavors with a cozy, spicy note.
