KOKO PIÑA is areminder of the sun, breeze and all things summer–rest, relaxation and moments surrounded by people we love. Featuring sweet flavors such as the nuttily sweet Coconut and vibrantly tart Pineapple, each sip is sure to remind you the hottest season of the year is now upon us!Like every other flavor, KOKO PIÑA comes with its very own motto: “Drink More Water, come together.” Coincidence? Think again!

As we mentioned earlier, KOKO PIÑA was developed with the waterdrop® community. But hang on a second, why and how did this all come about? Let’s begin with the why. 

 - Firstly, the community that we’ve built around the brand is very close-knit and important to us. Satisfying them has always been one of our primary objectives (we even have an entire team dedicated to it!).

- A flavor created by the community has been on our minds for a long time, and a project that we’ve been asked about on numerous occasions. And that’s just as well, because…

- Our members are super creative! Be it drawings, personalized bottles, songs or the ‘invention’ of new, digital flavors, they’ve more than demonstrated their creative flair on several occasions.Since all that was in place, we thought it was time to make this dream a reality—hand in hand with our community.

With the help of our teams, we put together a list of around 20 ingredients and voila! It was time to reveal the project to our members so they could vote for their three favorite ingredients. 

While some of the combinations sounded good on paper, we also had to make sure they tasted as good as they sounded. and so, our Production team stepped in once more to select the top 5 duos for a final vote.

The choice was simple: Coconut and Pineapple was the clear winner!

Arriving at the Design stage, there were 2 objectives to be met: 1) to determine the mood of the flavor i.e. what kind of feelings/emotions it should evoke and 2) to develop the packaging. Once again, the community was by our side throughout this whole process. Armed with the community’s mood boards and design proposals, our Design team was able to make the most of their ideas. The result? A flavor that perfectly captures the essence of summer, with a tropical ambience thanks to palm trees and pastel hues.

What would a waterdrop® flavor be without its matching accessories? Once again, we took our community’s wishes on board and opted for summery accessories such as a beach towel and a hand-held fan—so our community can take a piece of us along while strolling around the town or the beach. As a bonus, we also designed a Mocktail Recipe Book—a must-have when it comes to hosting dinner parties with impressive aperitifs this summer!
