Courtside Reviews

4.4

Courtside reviews show the brand works as a refreshing, coconut-water–based drink loved for hydrating after activity; reviewers praise natural flavors, sleek branding, and light carbonation but frequently note inconsistent or weak fizz and occasional overly coconut-forward taste. This helps buyers who want a low-sugar, coconut-forward post-workout beverage know they'll likely enjoy clean ingredients and packaging, but should expect variable sparkle and some flavors that skew mild or too coconuty for non–coconut fans.

    The flavors were nice and the packaging makes me happy. I’m a sucker for typography and labeling! Unfortunately the product labels say “a little bit sparkly” and all three of the flavors I tried were flat. No carbonation to be had. That said I thought the coconut lime tasted delicious and all of the flavors were slightly elevated versions of your standard canned coconut water. If I saw these on shelves at Whole Foods or Thrive Market or Amazon started carrying them I would definitely buy them but I don’t think I love them enough to go out of my way to order them directly.

    Carbonation, carbonation! They could be extremely refreshing if they just had that extra oomph.

    I enjoyed trying Courtside! The flavors were pretty intense and sweet, I was expecting a more mild flavor with the coconut water. I liked the Berry Lemonade flavor the best.

    The packaging seems cheap. The label slipped off of the can and the cans arrived dented.

    In the best way possible I have nothing bad to say about these drinks. I don't drink it and get a super intense flavor, but there is flavor. It's much better than a plain seltzer but that would be my closest drink to compare it to. I find it very refreshing and easy to go down. I would buy them for the summer.

    I don't have much to complain about. I have it 4 out of 5 only because the flavor isn't super intense, however I'm not sure I would like it as much if the flavor was more intense. I think if you are look for an intense coconut flavor or the flavor of the can this isn't for you. But I don't like coconut water and I like this, it's perfect for me.

    The shipping took an exceptionally longtime after placing my thingdrop order. Unfortunately 2 out of the 3 cans arrived damaged and with the risk of contamination during transit I decided not to try them. I was able to try the mango passionfruit and while it was fine in flavor, I prefer Liquid Death Mango over this.

What is Courtside?

In their own words

Courtside was born out of kickball scrimmages, pickup basketball, and days at the park. We searched for sports drink options for the recreationalist - those looking for simple, understandable, natural hydration for activity. Without any luck searching the aisles, we developed Courtside to quench our thirst with naturally-occurring electrolytes, easy-to-understand ingredients, and a taste worth enjoying on or off the court. Our community is centered around play - one that cheerleads and moves together, even if it’s off-rhythm. Made with coconut water, real fruit juice, and light effervescent carbonation, it’s simple, no B.S. hydration.
