Harmless Harvest Introduces First Fair Trade Coffee Coconut Water

The day after a late-night bender can be tough. Your head hurts, your stomach aches, and all you want to do is rehydrate. Thank goodness for coconut water. Not only does it quench our thirst, it’s filled with electrolytes to help replenish all that water that drinking sucked out of our system. Justin Guilbert and Douglas Riboud — the guys behind one of our favorite coconut water brands, Harmless Harvest — are at it again, this time with the first 100 percent raw and organic coffee-infused coconut water on the market. Not only does it rehydrate, it gives you that badly needed energy boost that we all need from that lack of sleep. If you’re thinking , What — coffee and coconut water?! Trust us, it actually tastes amazing.

If you’re like us and you can’t get enough of Harmless Harvest, they have a whole line of coconut water beverages. Along with the original Harmless Harvest coconut water and the Fair Trade Coffee coconut water, there’s also a Dark Cacao flavor, which actually satisfied our never-ending chocolate craving, and Cinnamon & Clove, which sounded peculiar to us at first — until we tried it. It was something akin to rice pudding if you’re into that flavor.

So next time you’re in need of the rehydration that coconut water provides combined with an extra kick to wake you up, go for Harmless Harvest’s Fair Trade Coffee coconut water. Not only will it do both those things, it’s actual Fair for Life, both  Social and Fair Trade certified. What’s better than a beverage that is not just good for you, but also good for the environment?

The best gin drinks: Our 5 favorites
The best gin cocktails for you to make at home
Gin cocktail

When it comes to spirits, there are none as unique as gin. When distilled, gin doesn’t have much flavor, save for the ingredients it’s made with. It’s not all that different from vodka. It’s the addition of juniper berries and various herbs and botanicals either in the distillation process itself (or a second distillation), through vapor infusion (the herbs and botanicals are hung in a basket in the still), or through maceration (adding the flavors to an already distilled gin) that give the gin its distinct, memorable aromas and flavors.

If you’ve ever had gin (or even sniffed it), you know the most potent ingredient is juniper berries. They are what gives gin its patented pine tree aroma and flavor. Other common ingredients include orris root, angelica root, orange peel, and licorice.

Give your gimlet a herbal twist with this vodka cocktail
Ghost Hill Organic Vodka

The Gimlet is one of those cocktails that is so simple and such a classic that it's easily overlooked. Whilst I lean toward a Gin Gimlet (and I have strong feelings like it should be made with fresh lime juice and sugar syrup rather than a pre-made lime cordial), you can also experiment with different spirits such as the also popular Vodka Gimlet.

The simple recipe is ripe for experimentation though, and especially when you are working with vodka, you have a lot of leeway to incorporate other ingredients to add more interest and unique personality to your drink. This recipe from Ghost Hill Organic Vodka showcases the smooth and clean notes of the spirit while also allowing space for the other ingredients to shine -- not only lime juice and simple syrup, but also the addition of sage leaves for a more herbal note.
