Not just another designer beverage battling for shelf space, O Water is a new flavored water from the founders of Nantucket Nectars and Fiji water. By replacing artificial sweeteners and other not-so-healthy ingredients with all-natural ingredients, O Water accomplishes more with less resulting in a light, crisp and subtly-flavored water.
We prefer the Original unsweetened variety over the Infused alternatives and the it's better served chilled than at room temperature. Containing oil and essence of fruit, the Lemon and Lime water is an accurate reproduction of a "glass of water with a twist of lemon" minus hassling with an actual lemon. Served in a tapered plastic bottle that sports a clean design and brightly-colored label, O Water is available in select stores across the U.S.

This version of a glass bottle in the shape of a plastic one continues the trend of doing up disposables in nicer materials and is, indeed, a Crate and Barrel knock-off of a similar concept by Roost (also makers of home furnishings but without the corporate baggage). It does however offer two design differences that caught our attention. The option of a smaller size...
Forget Gatorade. The sport drink of choice now comes in a dissolving tablet. Dropping the unwanted sugars that make Gatorade and other endurance beverages hard to swallow, Nuun delivers the electrolytes your body needs while lightly flavoring your water with a hint of lemon and lime, orange and ginger, citrus fruits and more. Assuming you can find safe water replenishment sources along your route,...
While herbs have handily been cavorting with foodstuffs and teas over the years, water has been uncharted territory until now. Ayala's Herbal Water, one of the newest entries into the trend of water reinvention, is refreshingly tasty. While flavor combos like "lavender mint lemongrass thyme," "cinnamon orange peel" and "ginger lemon peel" might sound like an overpowering infusion, the effect is subtle, mellow and...
"Drink water, not sugar" is the mantra of Hint Inc., a conscious beverage company whose goal is simple: to make a simple drink that tastes good. It's a fresh break from all of the "functional waters" on the line that promise all but the meaning of life. We love this summer's recently-announced four new flavors: Hibiscus Vanilla, Watermelon, Blackberry, and Watermelon....
