Cloud Coffee with Coconut Water: A Refreshing Twist on Your Daily Brew

Looking for a coffee that’s equal parts refreshing, energizing, and TikTok-worthy? Meet cloud coffee with coconut water—a tropical take on whipped coffee that’s lighter, brighter, and surprisingly hydrating. It’s a summer-ready drink that delivers a creamy texture and bold flavor without needing fancy gear.

At Cutters Point, we’re all about combining quality coffee with everyday creativity. That’s why this recipe is perfect for our New Horizons Instant Coffee, a smooth, rich blend you can use to create espresso-like intensity without an espresso machine. Just stir, whip, and pour.

What Is Cloud Coffee?

Cloud coffee is the cooler cousin of dalgona, a whipped, frothy coffee made by vigorously mixing instant coffee, sugar, and water until it becomes light and airy. Typically spooned over milk or a milk alternative, cloud coffee gets its name from its pillowy texture and dramatic, café-style appearance.

This version swaps out milk for chilled coconut water, giving the drink a crisp, subtly sweet, and hydrating profile that’s especially refreshing on warm days.

Why Add Coconut Water? (Flavor + Health Benefits)

At first glance, coconut water and coffee might seem like an odd couple, but don’t underestimate the power of this tropical pairing:

• Natural Sweetness – no syrup needed
  
  
• Hydration Boost – packed with electrolytes
  
  
• Lighter Feel – dairy-free and ultra-refreshing
  
  
• Balanced Flavor – enhances caramel and fruit notes in coffee
  
  

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 packet Cutters Point New Horizons Instant Coffee
  
  
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, helps create a thicker foam)
  
  
• 2 tbsp water (hot or cold—our instant coffee dissolves either way)
