LITTLE ROCK — WHAT: Hint water
STATS: A serving contains no calories and no fat. Sold at Fresh Market and Whole Foods Market. For more information or online ordering, visit drinkhint.com.
THE SKINNY: Water. It’s just so ... watery.
And many flavored waters out there are so fake, fizzy, sugary and chemically.
Hint “premium essence water” finds a happy medium. It’s pure, unsweetened water with a refreshing whisper of natural flavor. Not only can it be chugged from a chilled bottle, it can be used in cocktails. (US Weekly reports designer Tory Burch created a Tory Tiki Tini, mixing 2 ounces of vodka, 1 /2 ounce of blue curacao and 3 ounces of Mango-Grapefruit Hint water).
Hint is available in other varieties: Blackberry, Strawberry-Kiwi, Watermelon, Pomegranate-Tangerine, Raspberry-Lime, Lime, Pear and even Cucumber and Honeydew-Hibiscus.
