Sparkling coconut water with lychee is carbonated coconut water flavoured with lychee juice or natural lychee flavour. Lychee’s floral, rose-like aroma pairs naturally with coconut, and carbonation makes the drink lighter and less sweet-tasting. The coconut base supplies about 250 mg of potassium per 100 ml; calories range from about 19 to 40 kcal per 100 ml depending on added juice or sugar.
Key facts at a glance
- Lychee contributes aroma; at flavouring levels it adds no nutrition.
- Raw lychee has 71 mg vitamin C per 100 g, but little survives dilution and heat.
- Carbonation does not reduce electrolytes.
- Check sugar: unsweetened versions stay close to plain coconut water.
- Lychee aroma is delicate — cans protect it better than clear bottles.

Frequently asked questions
What does sparkling coconut water with lychee taste like?
Light and floral, with lychee’s rose-like sweetness over a subtle coconut base and a crisp fizz.
Is it healthy?
Unsweetened versions are a low-calorie alternative to soda that keeps coconut water’s potassium. Sweetened versions contain more sugar.
Can it cause bloating?
Some people find carbonated drinks cause bloating. Still coconut water avoids this.
Is it good after exercise?
For light exercise, yes; the fizz makes it slower to drink in large amounts.
