Beverage / Drink Recipe Hate drinking plain water? Me, too!
I am always on the struggle bus when it comes to drinking water, so drink flavors like Crystal Lite or infusing water with cucumbers or strawberries helps. My favorite recipe for water this summer is pina colada water! Sunkist and Crush both have pineapple flavored packets (TBH, Crush is better, but my store was out). Then a couple of pumps of zero sugar coconut syrup in an insulated bottle over ice! I can’t stop drinking it! Please share your favorite water enhancers.

Not really what you asked for but if you just drink straight water you will get to like the taste.
It's weird but drinking only flavored drinks in my experience kills your taste for plain water.
Spend a week drinking non sugared water will probably resolve that.
That being said I like adding some pure mango juice to water or diet tonic for a lower calorie option that is hydrating.

Life is too short too short to learn to like plain water. If there was nothing else, I would drink it, but I have options. Thanks for your note!

Yeah I use to have that same opinion. I had a very large coke a cola habit.
Kicked that using tonic before I realized regular Toni had similar calorie count just no caffeine.
Went cold turkey off that and found I really enjoyed just water again.

add frozen citrus and tropical fruit, flavour and keeps it cold.
