On a recent trip to the Bahamas, I would have one of these drinks daily. There’s nothing better then sitting on the beach with your toes in the sand, and a coconut drink in your hand:)

We found this great little place in Freeport near the Straw Market that made really good coconut drinks.

You don’t need to be in the Caribbean to enjoy this drink, it’s so easy to make at home!

Tap on the coconut with the back side of a knife in an even circular motion

The coconut will start to open, gently pry with a knife

Gently open with your hands over the sink

Add the coconut water to your blender

Delicious!
