Would you hate me if I told you that sometimes plain water just doesn’t cut it for me when I’m thirsty af?
Like don’t get me wrong, I LOVE water, but when I really need something to quench my thirst, whether that’s on the beach, by the pool, on the mountain when I’m snowboarding in the winter, etc., I want something with flavor. Y’know what I mean? It’s these times I find myself craving soda or lemonade, but I also know those beverages aren’t the healthiest of choices, and have a ton of unnecessary sugar in them. While plain ol’ water can certainly do the trick, something like Perrier that has some bubbles and flavor to it is far more fun?
I know there are all kinds of carbonated waters out there, but Perrier’s flavored carbonated mineral water is hands down my favorite (and lucky for me, they used to keep our fridge at my last job completely stocked with this stuff!!). It’s not overly fizzy (which can be hard for me to drink) and lightly flavored without tasting sweet or artificial (because it ain’t!). My favorite flavor is the strawberry, which I have a feeling would be veryyyyy lovely in a vodka soda cocktail, but the pink grapefruit is a close second. I’m also feeling these guys in a nice white wine spritzer, but since we’re talking about staying hydrated here (and not on a Friday night), I’ll stick with the non-alcoholic version…
And truth be told, I tend to actually prefer a drink like Perrier at a party – it’s zero calories, still feels fun, helps me stay hydrated, and leaves no trace of a hangover. Yep, I’m that girl who shows up with a case of this stuff instead of a 6-pack. Don’t judge me – we’re a “healthy living blog” over here, after all?
Here are all the flavor options (and dzayum are they good ones):
Peach: Stylish, bold, daring
Lime: Classic cocktail twist
Strawberry: Bubbly, bright, berries
Watermelon: Summer
Lemon: Bright, tart twist
L’Orange: Combination of orange & lemon, subtle, citrus
Pink Grapefruit: Bracing tartness
You can also find your flavor inspiration at Perrier.com/flavors and enter to win a year’s worth of Perrier flavors! So go run and do that because honestly a fridge full of this stuff would be a literal dream.
Pop a fun straw in your glass, a cube or two of ice to cool ya down, a slice of lemon or lime on the side, and pour in the Perrier folks. It’s soooo much better than plain water, I promise.
What’s your drink of choice this summer?
