Watermelon and Coconut Water Cooler with Lemongrass and Cilantro

This hydrating summertime beverage is best served ice cold! The addition of vodka makes it an alcoholic sipper, however you can omit the alcohol and serve this mocktail style without affecting the taste. Just lighten up on the lemongrass simple syrup a tad and adjust for taste, if no alcohol is used.
