3 Awesome Coconut Water Cocktails

You know coconut water is full of electrolytes and minerals, but it’s also delish in adult beverages! Try all of these awesome coconut water cocktails — Spicy Tequila & Lemonade Cocktail, Frozen Pineapple Coconut Rum, and Sparkling Strawberry Gin!

I had this idea recently to make coconut water cocktails under the premise that you would be rehydrating while dehydrating. I mean, isn’t coconut water supposed to be super healthy for you and insanely hydrating? I personally think by itself it kind of tastes like armpits, but I’m all about sneaking some healthy stuff into your fun time fare.

With summer right around the corner, I consider hydration to be a hot button issue. How do you enjoy copious amounts of cocktails while laying out in the hot sun without completely shriveling up into nothing?

Coconut Water Cocktails

I’ve got your answer. Actually, I’ve got three answers. Sparkling Strawberry Gin Cocktail, Frozen Pineapple Coconut Rum Cocktail, and Spicy Tequila & Lemonade Cocktail. All are made with coconut water that will keep your cells happy while you simultaneously tan them to a crisp.

Or you could just sit in the shade, save your skin from cancer, and enjoy these cocktails for the simple fact they are delicious and refreshing.

The choice is yours.
