Coconut Water

Coconut water is going mainstream with Pret and of course you read about it on this blog months back  http://greatcafes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/coconuts-cucumbers-coobo.html

Cold Drinks in the Khazi

 The first cafe we have seen selling coconut water (and some original soft drinks in smart reusable juice bottles).  Attendant (the cafe in a underground toilet) is spot on.

Drinks are served with a jam jar 'cup', ice and fat straw.

Coconuts, Cucumbers & Coobo

Coconut water was everywhere at IFE.  Low in calories, premium priced it is big in the USA and in the rest of Europe apparently.  I learnt that the real stuff comes from young coconuts, such as the Dr Antonio Martins brand, whilst Coca-Cola have their Zico brand (from concentrate but sadly I preferred the taste).

Qcumber cordial won the best drink innovation award

Coobo is the first bubble tea in a bottle.  An unusual taste sensation.
