PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Mick Olinik for Once Upon A Coconut
ORLANDO, FL (OCTOBER 2026) — Once Upon a Coconut, the premium coconut water brand known for its great-tasting hydration, today announced the launch of Coconut Water + Fruit Punch, a refreshing take on a childhood favorite made with real fruit juice and no added sugar. The new flavor is available now on Amazon, at OnceUponACoconut.com, and at select retailers.
Coconut Water + Fruit Punch is made with just five ingredients: coconut water, pineapple juice, apple juice, orange juice, and strawberry juice. The result pairs the bright, familiar taste of fruit punch with the natural electrolytes of coconut water. It uses 100% juice, never from concentrate, and is Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and plant-based.
“Fruit punch is one of those flavors that instantly takes you back to childhood, but when you look at what’s on shelves today, so many options are loaded with added sugar and artificial ingredients,” said Ray Burbige, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Once Upon a Coconut. “We wanted to bring back that same fun, familiar taste with clean, simple ingredients parents can feel good about and a flavor kids will actually get excited to drink. As a parent myself, this is something I would put in my own kids’ lunchboxes without a second look at the label.”
To celebrate the launch, Once Upon a Coconut has teamed up with professional baseball star and brand partner Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a limited-edition Coconut Water + Fruit Punch can. The can features a custom design inspired by Jazz and spotlights the Jazz Chisholm Foundation, which creates opportunities for young athletes and families in underserved communities.
“Growing up in the Bahamas, coconut water was always part of my life, and fruit punch was one of those treats every kid loved,” said Jazz Chisholm Jr. “Bringing in one drink with no added sugar is somethingI’m really excited about. And being able to put my own spin on the can while shining a light on my foundation makes it even more special. It’s a flavor I grew up lofeel good about, and I can’t wait for everyone to try it.”
With the addition of Fruit Punch, Once Upon a Coconut continues to expand its lineup of fruit-infused coconut waters, giving consumers more ways to enjoy better-fompromising on flavor. Fruit Punch joinsPineapple, Watermelon, and Blueberry in the brand’s growing portfolio.
Coconut Water + Fruit Punch is available in single 10.8-ounce cans and 12-packs. For more information or to find a
