OK, so we know that no matter the season, we have a job to do: We have to down at least 8 glasses of water a day. There’s a method to the madness. Staying hydrated equals feeling fit, shiny hair, glowing skin—all goals we women are after. At the same time, we’re loving our cocktails and for most of us, they’re a necessity, too. So if we can make our water all sparkling, well, that’s just a bonus. And if we can turn that into delicious cocktails, we’re celebrating big. And if we can do it all using a sleek new machine that looks sexy and stylish on the kitchen counter, we’re all the way in. Who wouldn’t be?
