With its skin-clearing and weight loss benefits (and its primary function of keeping you alive, of course), hydration has become an obsession that has reached meme-worthy heights. Some version of “Drink water and mind your business” has found its way on to T-shirts, mugs, and magnets. No time is more the right time to focus on hydration than the hot-as-heck summer months, and infused flat and sparkling water makes the mundane magnificent. Both herbs and fruit can add a refreshing twist to your hydration routine. Some fun combinations to try:
- Strawberry/mint
- Strawberry/basil/lemon
- Cucumber/lemon/mint
- Raspberry/mango/ginger
- Raspberry/grapefruit/mint
We’re also big fans of flavored ice cubes, and what’s not to love? This is a versatile and easy way to add flavor and color to water and cocktails—it’s also a versatile way to add cocktails to water! How? With boozy ice cubes. Like a fancier version of the ubiquitous undergrad staple, the jello shot, boozy ice cubes can be colorful, made in a variety of flavors, and go in anything from sparkling water to juice! ForFreezing.com provides a handy guide to which types of alcohol should be used for ice cubes. Want a sample recipe? Try this one from Southern Kitchen.
