Vita Coco Coconut Waters to be Distributed by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group

Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., recently reached an agreement to distribute Vita Coco, an all-natural, pure coconut water reviewed by Cook Like Jackie last year.  A leader in the natural-functional beverage category, Vita Coco is the No. 1-selling coconut water in the U.S. with more than a 60 percent share of the market. Vita Coco is fresh coconut water extracted from young green coconuts and has grown increasingly popular as both a lifestyle beverage and a natural sports drink since its launch in 2004.  The agreement will cover the distribution of five Vita Coco flavors including 100% pure, pineapple, acai & pomegranate, peach & mango and tangerine. Vita Coco will be available in 11.2-oz., 17-oz. and 34-oz. tetra packs and is currently for sale at many specialty markets.  In addition, Vita Coco is currently offering a sweepstakes to include a 4-day, three night trip for two to Brazil.  For more information, please e-mail cooklikejackie@gmail.com.
