Instructions

Place coconut water, orange juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or alternative and honey in a shaker with some ice. Shake for about 10-15 seconds.
Fill your glass with ice and strain the mixture in. Garnish with optional dehydrated citrus and serve.

Notes

Note 1 (apple cider vinegar): apple cider vinegar can be a handy ingredient to use in mocktails because it creates that 'bite' that is often missing when we create a non-alcoholic drink. This can be replaced with 1 oz of non-alcoholic rum or left out if you wish.

Note 2 (sweetener): I love honey with coconut and orange so have used honey here, but feel free to replace this with maple syrup or your choice of sweetener if you wish.
