I came from a tropical island in Penang, Malaysia, a picturesque and beautiful island fringed with a shimmering blue sea and swaying coconut trees.

I grew up drinking fresh and refreshing coconut water, from plump and just-fallen-off-the-tree coconuts.

Coconut water is our thirst-quencher to beat the tropical heat.

In the past few years, I’ve been so happy to see that coconut water has become a mainstream drink in the United States.

Everything tastes so much better with coconut water, including this lemonade, an all-American favorite.

Trust me on this, once you try my coconut water lemonade, you will never, EVER go back to regular lemonade.

Sipping this coconut water lemonade transports me to the exotic faraway lands and islands in Southeast Asia, where life is laid-back and happy.

Lemonade coconut juice ready to serve.

You can get canned coconut water easily from any stores now.

I used some fresh and homegrown lemons and calamansi limes (or calamondin), given to me by my friend V, and mixed it with the coconut water.

All you need is a little bit of sugar and ice, and you will have the most amazing lemonade; everyone will be begging you for more!

Now a little bit on calamansi lime, these little round limes are widely used in Malaysia and the Philippines.

We use calamansi in our drinks as well as in some of our cooking.

They infuse an intense, fruity and citrusy aroma and taste unlike any other.

Just a little bit of the juice immediately transforms this lemonade into something utterly tropical and exotic.

It’s May, and as the weather keeps heating up, it’ll soon be summer.

Make this coconut water lemonade, enjoy the heat, and transport yourself to the topical islands of Southeast Asia, and enjoy!

  • In a pitcher, combine the coconut water, lemon juice, calamansi lime juice, and sugar. Stir to mix well. Add the sliced lemons and ice to the pitcher. Pour the lemonade into glasses and garnish with mint leaves.

Notes

I used Kimbo Young Coconut Juice with pulp and strained out the pulp. You may skip the calamansi lime if you don’t have it. They are the fruits from the calamondin tree. They are available in Southeast Asian stores or Filipino food stores.

    if this is not coconut water what i am calling how can we milk the coconut . same like miking cow or or by shaking it

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You have to scrap the coconut flesh from the shells and grate them, them squeeze for the milk.

    2. David Martin says:

      The best coconut water is found naturally inside young coconuts. Coconut milk is made by shredding the pulp from mature coconuts, adding water, then mashing to extract the ‘milk’. Coconut water and coconut milk are two very different products…

      1. David Martin says:

        I meant to say ‘shredding the meat’…

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have missed lemonade since becoming diabetic

    1. David Martin says:

      Heather, substitute Xylitol for sugar. The look, taste and texture is just like sugar but it’s safe for diabetics…

  6. Claudia says:

    Hi
    I was wondering what brand of coconut water do you use. The market is saturated with them and they all don’t taste the same.

    Thanks

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      I used Kimbo brand, it’s very good.

      1. Roger says:

        I wonder if what you are calling coconut water, is what I call coconut milk. What I call coconut water is a popular beverage–full of electrolytes. What. Is used for cooking, I call coconut milk. I have worked in Indian restaurants which cook with this.

        1. Rasa Malaysia says:

          Coconut water as in the water of coconut, not the coconut milk. Coconut water is clear, coconut milk is milky. This is coconut water in bottled.
