VARIATIONS

• Healthier Version: For a healthier twist, substitute regular coconut milk with almond milk or coconut water to lower the calorie count even further.
• High-Protein or Low-Carb Version: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mix for a high-protein option. This will give the spritzer a protein boost, making it great for post-workout recovery while remaining low in carbs.
• Air Fryer Version: If you want to serve a snack with your mocktail, consider making air-fried coconut shrimp. Simply coat shrimp with a light layer of shredded coconut and air fry them for about 8-10 minutes until crispy.
