About:

The pina-colada is a cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut and pineapple. Here I have replaced cream of coconut with fresh coconut water and used fresh pineapple. It can be personalised as per the taste.

This is a delightfully refreshing summer drink delicious way to hydrate; Coconut water prevents dehydration.

Health Benefits:

Coconut water naturally refreshing, coconut water has a sweet, nutty taste. It contains easily digested carbohydrate in the form of sugar and electrolyte. Low in calories, naturally fat- and cholestrol free and super hydrating – these are just a few of the many benefits ascribed to America’s latest health craze: coconut water.
