Demand for winter special flavor
Shop operator Kapil Bhamre said that in winter, people are liking the crush made of strawberry and custard apple the most, which he has named ‘Dilruba Crush’. The special thing about this crush is that it is not prepared in any glass, but directly inside the coconut.

Benefits of drinking coconut water in winter
From health point of view, health experts believe that coconut water can be drunk in limited quantity even in winter. This maintains energy in the body and reduces digestive problems. At the same time, the nutrients present in strawberries are considered beneficial in reducing stress, controlling blood pressure and for the skin. However, people suffering from cold and diabetes are advised to exercise caution. Special offers are also running here in winter. Kapil said, two days a week, on Saturday and Sunday, the regular crush of Rs 70 is being offered for just Rs 49 and the special flavor of Rs 99 for just Rs 70.
