HOW TO SERVE Coconut Casper Mocktail
When serving Coconut Casper Mocktail, presentation is key. Use clear glasses to show off the white color of the drink and the fog created by the dry ice. You can also prepare a few drinks at once to serve at a party. Arrange the glasses on a table with fun, colorful straws. If it’s a special occasion, think about adding some fun decorations or tropical-themed items to the table. A small umbrella or a piece of fruit on the rim can also make it look festive.
STORAGE & FREEZING: Coconut Casper Mocktail
It is best to make Coconut Casper Mocktail fresh. When made with dry ice, you should not store the drink. The dry ice will evaporate, and the fog will disappear. If you want to prepare ahead, you can mix coconut milk and vanilla syrup in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just add the club soda and dry ice just before serving to maintain that fantastic frosty look and feel.

If you want a more filling option, serve it along with appetizers like shrimp cocktail or spring rolls. These savory bites will balance the sweetness of the drink. You can even create a fun tropical-themed menu by offering dishes like coconut chicken bites or salads with tropical fruits.
