Prep Time:5m
Yields:8 Servings
Ingredients
¼ cup
chile-lime seasoning
1
lime wedge, plus 2 limes, cut into wheels, plus more for garnish
¼ cup
GOYA® Lime Juice, or fresh lime juice
2-3
habanero peppers, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced, plus more for garnish

club soda
2
lemons, cut into wheels, plus more for garnish
Directions
Step 1
<p>Place the chile-lime seasoning on a small plate. Moisten the edges of 8 glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rims into the chile-lime seasoning, tapping off any excess. Fill the glasses halfway with ice and set aside.</p>
Step 2
<p>In a large pitcher, muddle together the lime juice and habanero to release their juices. Fill the pitcher halfway with ice. Add the mango nectar, coconut water, and vodka, and stir to combine. Stir in the lime wheels, lemon wheels, and cucumber ribbons. Top with club soda.</p>
Step 3
<p>Divide the cooler among the prepared glasses. Garnish each glass with an additional lime wheel, lemon wheel, and 1 slice of habanero.</p> <p><strong>Mocktail Swap Made Easy</strong><br /> To turn this cocktail into a mocktail, simply replace the alcoholic ingredients with non‑alcoholic alternatives, such as alcohol‑free vodka. You’ll keep the same flavor profile while making it suitable for everyone.</p> <p><strong>Keep It Colder, Longer</strong><br /> For a drink that stays chilled longer, refrigerate the mixture thoroughly before adding any ice. When ready to serve, add large ice cubes or a single ice block to the pitcher to slow dilution and maintain the perfect chill.</p>
