If I could dream up the perfect summer afternoon, it would involve a pool, a killer playlist, sunshine, and an endless rotation of refreshing cocktails. And while there are tons of popular drinks you can whip up in your kitchen or backyard tiki bar (also part of the dream scenario), it's fun to put down the piña coladas and margaritas and try something new once in a while. That's where Vita Coco comes in.

With flavors like grapefruit, lemon ginger, raspberry lime, and pineapple passionfruit, our body temps are already cooling way down from the summer heat just thinking about sipping on these. Plus, coconut water is good for you, so if we make these cocktails with coconut water, we're basically doing our bodies a solid, no? Keep reading for nine sparkling coconut water cocktail recipes that'll make you wish for three more months of summer.
