Living in New Mexico has brought two big changes: the need for serious hydration and constant access to my espresso machine. It's taught me to get creative with my afternoon pick-me-ups, leading to my go-to Iced Coconut Water Americano. This refreshing espresso drink is not only delicious but also incredibly hydrating, making it perfect for sweltering New Mexico afternoons. Coconut water is packed with natural electrolytes, while espresso offers a boost of antioxidants, making this a nutritious and energizing beverage.
