The juice from inside of a coconut. Very light, transparent, and with a coconut taste. I'm sure you can also find water flavored with coconut extract. Fresh coconut juice is best, asian grocers usually have the immature green coconut, this is what you should seek out for fresh coconut juice. Otherwise look for canned coconut juice/water.
