Style Recipe: Cuckoo for Coconuts

I won't lie to you. The first time I drank coconut water I thought I might die. No exaggeration, it was quite possibly the worst thing I'd ever had. Granted it was from a warm coconut at a Brooklyn market which doesn't sound so bad except they don't grow coconuts in Brooklyn as you probably know so it wasn't very fresh. Yet for some reason I kept trying it, probably because it's one of those trendy foods that looks great in an Instagram & eventually the taste really grew on me. Now, I'm obsessed. 

So when I was in Punta Cana last week I was eager to drink the coconut water fresh from the island. Let me tell you this stuff was GOOD. As much as I love the coconut water from Starbucks, its nothing near the real deal. The locals would even slice open the coconuts once you're done with them to let you eat the coconut meat! Now I'm on a mission to use coconut in all my recipes. Any suggestions of recipe with coconut?!

p.s. I'm equally obsessed with this beach dress from Jen's Pirate Booty! Lucky for you they have it in stock now & you can shop it through the link below. The best part about this brand is that they'll let you custom order anything you'd like that you don't see in either your size or on the site!
