Best Neutral Coconut Water for Smoothies.Best Coconut Water for Juices and Cocktails.Like comparing apples and oranges, instead of ranking these all against each other, our taste testing team chose their winners in each of the following categories: ![]() Use our scale below to help determine your preference. Some taste testers wanted sweetened coconut water while others didn’t want any added sugars. We created a sweetness scale to fit every taste. And no funky aftertastes here-we were after unadulterated, drinkable coconut water. We also didn’t want the flavor to be muddled, instead pure enough to drink on its own while also doubling as a drink mixer. Of course, we wanted our coconut water to taste a little coconut-y. Between organic options, sweetened spins, and canned coconut waters, we tried every contender with an open mind and a lot of thoughts. Unlike other taste-offs and bake-offs, we approached this one in a slightly different way. The Ranking Guardrails for the Best Coconut Water This taste-off is a little different, but our team came to a consensus on the best coconut water for keeping cool during the dog days of summer. Whenever I gather my taste testing panel, I’m always surprised by how brand-loyal people can really be. If you’re familiar with our Taste-Off series (join the debate on the best grocery store pasta sauce and share your two cents on the best jarred salsa), then you know things get heated. It was time to determine the best coconut water once and for all. I was overcome with a thought: Was there any tangible difference between the bottles I was staring at? Feeling inspired, I took it upon myself to pick up every bottle of coconut water from the stores around me. Have you ever thought about what the best coconut water to drink was? I haven’t either-that is, until a few weeks ago when I was standing in front of the drinks fridge. We’re all (desperately) in need of a thirst-quenching bevvy, and while cocktails, mocktails, and electrolyte-fueled liquids might be on your list, I’m searching far and wide for the best coconut water my stay-cool-this-summer budget can buy. And I know this sounds like an ad, but I seriously have tried every coconut water and I'm just spreading the information.It’s mid-summer, and unfortunately, an end to the sweltering temps isn’t on the horizon. Until you try Copra or indigenous fresh Thai coconut water you're missing out. ( I bought a case so it wasn't just a mishap with a single carton.) Copra consistently delivered and I found myself drinking way too many because they're so tasty. I couldn't put my finger on it but Harmless Harvest had a slightly weird aftertaste. There are two brands of raw coconut water. Coconut water naturally should look glowing pink. When coconut water is heated, it destroys the delicious taste. Now, here's the deal breaker, all of the above coconut waters are total trash compared to RAW coconut water. Often times Vita has the sour potassium taste from overaging, and Zico is somewhat bland. Goya and those other cheap canned brands usually have sugar added and are heavily pasteurized to preserve. I have no stake in coconut water but I've tried them all. ![]()
