I love Harmless Harvest coconut water, so I was curious to try their sparkling version from Costco. It’s a better alternative to soda or other carbonated drinks, but to be honest, I still prefer the regular non-carbonated version. It’s refreshing and has that classic lightly sweet coconut flavor, but the bubbles change the experience a bit.
Taste and Texture
This has the same natural coconut water taste as the original, but the carbonation makes it a little crisper and slightly tangy. The bubbles make it feel lighter and more refreshing, but I think they also take away some of that smooth, hydrating feel that I love in regular coconut water.
If you like sparkling drinks with a mild tropical twist, you might really enjoy this one!
How I Like to Drink It
- Cold, straight from the can – It’s best when super chilled.
- Mixed with juice – A splash of pineapple or orange juice makes it even better.
- As a mixer – It works well in mocktails or light cocktails.

Final Verdict
If you love sparkling drinks but want a healthier alternative to soda, this is a great option. It’s light, crisp, and refreshing, but for me, I’ll stick with the non-carbonated version. It’s still a solid product, just not my favorite way to enjoy coconut water.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (⅘) – Good, but I prefer the original!
Would I buy it again? Maybe, but I’d rather grab the regular Harmless Harvest coconut water.
