I definitely understand missing simple pleasures like REAL coconut water.
I like to visit tropical places. When you take a green coconut, cut the top off (or stab a couple of holes in it), then drink the contents... There's nothing better.
I've never found anything that tastes even close in Canada. :-(
It gives me more motivation to travel. :-)
Isn't it? Like when you're by the beach, 35c, green coconut water is heaven.
Plus is rich in nutrients and the best drink for electrolytes loss. It's just perfect!
It's also a great hang-over cure. ;-) (For all the reasons you mentioned)
