FAQ:
How do I make a non-alcoholic alternative to this recipe?
To create a non-alcoholic version of your coconut water spiked punch, we'll need to replace the alcoholic ingredients (vodka or gin, and sparkling wine) with non-alcoholic substitutes that mimic their flavors and effects. Here's a revised recipe:
Non-Alcoholic Coconut Water Punch

- Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine or Sparkling Grape Juice (as a substitute for Cava)10oz

- Combine Ingredients: In a large punch bowl, whisk together the non-alcoholic spirit, coconut water, lime juice, lemon juice, soda water, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and simple syrup.
- Chill: If possible, let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Transfer the punch to glasses. If using non-alcoholic bitters, add a few drops to each glass for an added layer of flavor. If bitters are not available, a splash of cranberry juice can add a nice color and a hint of tartness.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish each glass with a slice of lime or lemon.
This non-alcoholic version retains the refreshing and tropical character of the original recipe while being suitable for all ages and those who prefer to avoid alcohol. The non-alcoholic spirit and sparkling grape juice add complexity and mimic the mouthfeel of the original alcoholic ingredients.
