Actually, Mother Nature makes the coconut water. The challenge is to get it from the inside of the coconut.

First, you need a machete.

Then, if you enjoy relieving your frustration/anger/whatever by hacking open a coconut, look for green coconuts in the produce section at international markets.

Think of making them the center of attention at a party. You might be able to hire an experienced pro from the market to be your “coconut water bartender.” He’ll bring his own machete.

Both kids and adults will be charmed by the flavor of the drink, as well as with the “show.”
