Hydrating & Refreshing Ideas


Tempt travelers with moisture-boosting ingredients to help them feel hydrated upon landing.

Here are a few healthy ideas for private catering that are incredibly refreshing:


  • Fruit Skewers: A refreshing and hydrating option, featuring a variety of fresh fruits like papaya, melon, and pineapple. Serve them with whipped coconut cream and lime-infused coconut sugar.

  • Fresh Fruit Sorbet: Make with real fruit and served in a variety of flavors like mango, banana, or lemon.

  • Coconut Water: Naturally hydrating and rich in electrolytes, perfect for maintaining hydration levels during the flight. Serve it chilled and consider flavoring it further (although it’s perfect as is). Make a tray of frozen coconut water and use the cubes as ice – this is a great way to chill the coconut water without watering it down further.

  • Green Smoothies: Packed with vitamins and minerals, made with spinach, kale, banana, and a splash of coconut water.


 


Enhanced Coconut Water (The king of hydrating drinks)


Here are a few flavor boosters to elevate your coconut water:


  • Fruit Juices: Mix in a splash of fruit juice such as pineapple, mango, passion fruit, or lime juice.

  • Herbs and Spices: Experiment with adding herbs like mint, basil, or lemongrass, or spices such as ginger or cinnamon.

  • Fruit Purees: Blend fresh or frozen fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries into a puree and mix it with the coconut water.

  • Agave Syrup or Honey: For a touch of sweetness, you can add agave syrup or honey to your coconut water.

  • Citrus Zest: Submerge lemon, lime, or orange peel into the coconut water.

  • Tea Infusions: Brew herbal teas such as hibiscus, chamomile, or green tea and allow them to cool before mixing them with coconut water for added flavor and health benefits.


 

Thirst-quenching Water Infusions


With these refreshing and hydrating drinks, add some sparkle to your water offering:


  • Cucumber and Mint: Thinly slice the cucumber and add fresh mint leaves to a pitcher of water. Let it infuse in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This combination is incredibly refreshing and helps to cool the body.

  • Citrus Blast: Slice lemons, limes, and oranges and add them to water along with a few sprigs of fresh basil or mint.

  • Watermelon Splash: Cut watermelon into cubes and add them to water along with a handful of fresh basil or mint leaves. Let it infuse for a few hours to allow the watermelon flavor to infuse into the water.

  • Mango + Coconut: Add chunks of fresh pineapple to water and mix in some coconut water for an extra tropical twist.

  • Ginger and Lemon: Thinly slice fresh ginger and lemon and add them to water along with a touch of honey if desired.

  • Herbal: Experiment with different herbs and healthy ingredients such as rosemary, thyme, or lavender combined with slices of cucumber, lemon, or lime.

  • Minty Melon: Combine cubes of honeydew or cantaloupe melon with fresh mint leaves in water for a light and refreshing drink perfect for summer.

  • Tropical Twist: Mix slices of mango, kiwi, and pineapple with coconut water for a hydrating infusion that will transport your passengers straight to their island.


 

Calming & Sleepy Ingredients

Here are some healthy ingredients to help them settle:


  • Mint Tea: Refreshing and calming, offer a cup of hot or iced mint tea to soothe the senses.
