Serving & Storage Tips
How to Serve This Coconut Limeade

Storage
If you happen to have any leftovers (which, let’s be real, is unlikely since it’s so delicious), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again.
Reheating Instructions
This limeade is best served cold, so I wouldn’t recommend reheating it. However, if you decide to make a warm version (which could actually be super cozy!), just heat it on the stovetop gently until warm.
Freezer Friendly
Yes! This recipe can be frozen if you wish to save it for a later date. Just pour it into freezer-safe containers, and it’ll keep for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply let it thaw in the fridge overnight!
