About Us
It started in a hammock, under a coconut palm, in Fiji...
On a family holiday in Fiji, we conceived the idea for Coastals Hard Coco—a pre-mix boozy coconut water cocktail. Could it work? We weren't aware of anyone doing it in Australia. A quick Google search revealed it existed in other parts of the world, but not quite as we envisioned. Water + vodka + a splash of coconut water? Soda water + coconut water and vodka? No, we wanted something bursting with flavour, something very delicious, a drink that makes you go, "OMG, what is f* is this!?”
So, we decided to go all in with 100% coconut water, adding fruit juice to create a flavour range, and using pure rice vodka for the alcohol. Yes, 100% coconut water is expensive to use in ready-to-drink products, but darn, it's so good—those naturally occurring electrolyte salts enhance the fruit juice flavours and make the drink incredibly tasty and refreshing. After a fruitless search for a coconut water producer in Australia we found a co-packer who produces some of the worlds top coconut water brands, and they agreed to work with us. After nine months of fine-tuning the recipe, here we are, finally ready to share it with everyone.
This drink is envisioned to be savoured, to be sipped with your head held high, soaking in the surroundings of the wonderful people and environment you're in.
We hope you enjoy! Cheers
