Metromint Water by Evan Orensten
Metromint water is a great new addition to my fridge. Created by the husband and wife team of Rio Miura and Scott Lowe (who are also behind David Rio teas), Metromint is made with only two ingredients: pure water, and mint from Washington. The flavor is just right-- a notch or two above subtle, and way below intense. I've been bringing it to the gym and enjoying it in the afternoons when a mint julep isn't an option. It's really refreshing and a nice change of pace from fruit or sweetened waters and tea. You can find it at Whole Foods and other retailers for around $1.50 a bottle.

Hou Hou Shu Sparkling Sake
For an unconventional New Year's toast, we can't think of a better option than Marumoto Brewery's Hou Hou Shu, a sparkling unfiltered Junmaishu sake. Tim and I first sampled it when we visited NYC's tofu restaurant Kyotofu and loved the light, slightly sweet flavor and gentle, natural carbonation which makes for a drinking experience very similar to champagne. At only 6% alcohol, the fruity...
