If you want to reduce potential hangover effects, you may want to try the following cocktails made with Vita Coco natural coconut water. We all know drinking dehydrates us and depletes our bodies of sodium and potassium. Vita Coco coconut water contains naturally-occurring electrolytes, which rehydrate you better than water by replacing sodium and potassium lost from imbibing alcohol. It’s also fat free. Vita Coco coconut water comes in five flavours: natural, pineapple, peach and mango, tropical fruit and orange so you can create cocktails to suit everyone’s tastes.
