There are 2 brands of natural & fresh coconut juice that I really like.
"O.N.E." & "Zico"
I've tried VitaCoCo twice. The first time I didn't like it, it seemed to have a mild salty taste to it. I thought maybe I just got a bad batch of coconut juice. Since all fresh coconut juices are not created equal I decided to give it one more chance when I saw that brand again at the store.
Nope. It still had a mild salty taste to it. It made me wonder if they were mass producing these because it tasted the same and I have never tasted fresh coconut juice that salty before??
Anyways
I grew up drinking fresh coconut water and I loved everything about it. Everything about coconut.
Coconut cake
Coconut fruit
Coconut scent
Coconut water
Coconut, coconut, coconut
Did I mention coconut? I think you get the point here.
I also love fruit.
So when I thought of these infused coconut water, I had to share it with yall!
Infusing water/coconut water/ anything liquid is super easy.
