Enchant Thyself With This Mocktail Cherry-Coconut Green Tea Mocktail

This layered, lightly energizing mocktail plays on the balance of grassy tea, earthy mate, fruity cherry and nutty coconut. Perfect for equinox season sipping. Bring on the balance!

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

  • 2 teaspoons Enchanted Forest Green tea
  • 1 cup hot water (about 175°F, not boiling)
  • ½ cup tart cherry juice (unsweetened if possible)
  • ½ cup chilled coconut water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cherries or lime slices, for garnish

Directions

  1. Brew the tea: Steep the Enchanted Forest Green in hot water for 3–4 minutes. Strain and let cool, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Mix the base: In a shaker (or large jar with a lid), combine chilled tea, tart cherry juice, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (if using). Shake until well blended.
  3. Serve: Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Pour the mixture over ice.
  4. Garnish: Add a fresh cherry or a thin lime slice on the rim. Optionally, sprinkle a few coconut flakes on top for texture.

Notes

  • For a fizzier version, top each glass with a splash of sparkling water.
  • To make it cocktail-friendly, add a splash of light rum or vodka.
  • The balance shines most if the cherry juice is tart rather than sweet.
