Coco5 Debuts a Nostalgic New Flavor — Grape
References: insider.fitt.co
Coco5 is an athlete-owned clean hydration brand backed by Charles Barkley, Devin Booker, D'Angelo Russell, and Michael Wilbon. The company recently debuted its first new flavor in 15 years — Grape — which offers a modern take on a nostalgic childhood favorite without the artificial dyes, high fructose corn syrup, or synthetic additives that have historically plagued grape-flavoured beverages.
Coco5's Grape clean hydration flavor joins the brand's existing lineup of Cherry, Passionfruit, Limon, Orange, Pineapple, and Coconut. All beverage formulas boasts 26% coconut water, five naturally occurring electrolytes, and vegan ingredients. The coconut water base provides natural electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium that support true hydration.
This launch represents a deliberate expansion from a brand that has intentionally maintained a tight product strategy focused on quality over quantity.
