How sweet is it that aside from the original coco water, you get to choose from two more flavors? Since Filipinos are naturally fond of sweets, Locally, the first quirky Filipino juice line made with indigenous local fruits, launched two more variants of the Locally Merci Buco coco water line: Buco Pandan and Buco Lychee. So you have not one, not two but three Merci Buco variants! Sweet!
Buco Pandan and Buco Lychee are flavors that appeal to the sweet tooth of every Filipino coco lover. And while they are often prepared as desserts, making them into drink flavors is not a bad idea at all! Imagine having your dessert and drinking it, too! What an amazing coconut concoction! Or shall we say...COCOction?!
Buco Pandan is an all-time favorite Filipino chilled salad made by blending shredded young coconut, pandan (screwpine leaves)-flavored gelatin cubes, cream and sweetened condensed milk. But as a drink, it has the refreshing kick of coco juice mixed with the exhilarating fragrance of Pandan leaves. So good that it will make you want to do the PANDANCE OF JOY! Drink some more and feel that burst of energy inside of you that will make you want to bust a move. It’s delicious, refreshing and naturally flavorful.
Buco Lychee, meanwhile, is traditional buko salad made yummier and juicier with lychee and coconut jelly or nata de coco. As a drink, it is simply refreshing and sweet. It has coconut water that quenches your thirst mixed with the exotic goodness of Lychee. Think of it this way, it’s like drinking your dessert minus the calories! We won’t Lychee you, it is honestly good!
Locally Merci Buco is made from pure and organic coconut water sourced and organically grown from local farms in Bicol and Quezon, assuring consumers not only of 100% freshness from the best-tasting natural coco water but also of its numerous health benefits: low calorie content of 40 calories per serving, no sugar added (for plain coco water), no fat and cholesterol, gluten-free, not from concentrate, and non-GMO. What’s more, all variants have the natural properties of coco water such as antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc.
It is also the first local coconut water that is certified organic by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1 and EcoCert2. So you get to have a sweet time enjoying your flavored drink plus the assurance that it is safe and healthy.
Packed in 330 ML and 1 liter eco-friendly recyclable tetra pack, Locally’s Merci Buco is available at Rustan’s and select PureGold and Robinsons supermarkets, and is exported to the US and the Middle East.
