We review the best coconut water in Singapore

We tried dozens of bottled coconut water to pick out the tastiest

by Mia Chenyze and Rachel AJ Lee  /   July 9, 2022

As thirst quenchers, coconut water does a great job. It contains natural electrolytes to help you hydrate, and is a natural alternative to plain water.

Though creamy coconut shakes are trending now, there will always be a place for good old coconut water: it is cheaper and less calorific than the shake version, something we’ve long regarded as a refrigerator staple in this hot, humid weather.

With so many brands of bottled coconut water in the market, you’re basically spoilt for choice. But fret not, for we’ve reviewed them for you. We sipped our way through dozens of brands in search of the tastiest coconut water.

We review the best coconut water in Singapore
Editor's Fave — Cocoloco
image

While we all balked at the price ─ it was the most expensive of the lot ─ this is as close as it gets to the real deal, minus the chore of having to crack open a fresh coconut on your own. The natural sweetness of the Thai coconuts shone through as there is no pasteurising or preservatives involved.

$3.95 for 270ml or $23.70 for six 270ml bottles, available at cocoloco.sg

Honorary Mention — Just Picked CocoWater
image

Compared to Cocoloco, Just Picked CocoWater has a more inconsistent flavour. Some packets are sweeter while others have a tinge of sourness – perhaps it all boils down to the luck of the draw, since even fresh coconuts vary in sweetness. Most of all, we’re pleased that it tastes pretty natural.

$2.50 for 330ml, available at Cold Storage and Lazada

Honorary Mention — UFC Coconut Water
image

In third place and a tad more bland than Just Picked CocoWater, this is cloudy but is among the most natural-tasting among supermarket brands. Plus, it’s affordable, which might explain why stocks tend to run out fast.

From $1.95 for 500ml, available at major supermarkets and on Amazon

Cocomax 100% Coconut Water
image

It’s fragrant, refreshing and not sweet. A great alternative if water gets too boring for you. Tip: freeze it in an ice tray and make mini popsicles. They won’t be sticky (because, zero added sugar) and they make for a guiltless treat on a hot day.

$1.95 for 500ml or $7.90 for six 350ml bottles, available at Fairprice and on Amazon

If Local Sensation Coconut Bottle Water
image

It’s not easy to keep coconut water tasting fresh for more than a couple of months. But the guys at If figured out a way to prolong the shelf life of their coconut water without adding any preservatives — cold aseptic filling system. Don’t worry, the taste isn’t affected. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and natural flavour.

$1.50 for 330ml, available at major supermarkets and 7-eleven

Vita Coco Natural Coconut Water
image

Good if you like a fairly natural taste although it has a slightly more pronounced sour nuance than the first three brands. This makes for a reasonable alternative if your other favourite brands are not available.

$1.60 for 330ml, available at major supermarkets

Coco Life Coconut Water
image

No artificial taste or sour note with this coconut water but there was a distinct caramelly scent and slightly cloying aftertaste.

$1.50 for 330ml, available at major supermarkets and on Amazon

Cocoxim 100% Organic Coconut Water
image

All of Cocoxim’s coconuts come from the brand’s own farm in the Ben Tre Province in Vietnam, and there are no preservatives in Cocoxim’s tetra packs of coconut water, resulting in a refreshing, slightly sweeter taste. The brand also offers coconut water in two other flavours – pineapple and lotus seed – if you’re bored of the regular taste.

$2 for 330ml or $24.50 for 12 x 330ml bottles, available at Amazon

Ice Cool Young Coconut Juice
image

Before coconut water became synonymous with yoga and wellness, Ice Cool was already a stalwart in the local market, selling cans of its crisp and refreshing young coconut juice to keep locals less “heaty”. This is perfect for those who like a little bit of bite, thanks to the young coconut pulp thrown in the mix.

$1.40 for 500ml, available at major supermarkets

ZICO Natural Coconut Water Drink
image

Non-GMO, gluten-, and cholesterol-free, and made without any added sugar, Zico’s coconut water is less sweet than its competitors. The juice is made from blending young coconuts – originating from Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines – with semi-mature ones, and is extremely satisfying to sip on chilled after working up a sweat in this humidity.

$1.85 for 330ml, available at major supermarkets and on Amazon
