Cheers! by Rachel Burkons Picking up the Hints On a hot summer day, the only thing better than a refreshing, fruit-infused water is a sparkling, refreshing fruitinfused water. With each sip of Hint Fizz, your taste buds will alight: Bright bubbles punctuate subtle fruit flavors like peach, blackberry and watermelon. Calorie-free, all natural and with no sugars, Hint Fizz is the perfect soda-swapper for your customer with the Diet Coke addiction and a great alternative to add a touch of flavor to a simple vodka soda. www.drinkhint.com Spicy Scot Made from a centuries-old Scottish family recipe, Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer is spicy, savory summertime satisfaction. Crisp, bold flavors and effervescence enliven the palate, and an old-timey flair will make you long for summertime picnics and barbecue, Leave It to Beaver–style. Bright freshy-fruity flavors like Raspberry and Strawberry Lime offer additional options for the easy-drinking consumer, but we're satisfied with the classic spicy ginger in the original. www.crabbiesgingerbeer.com 118 / the tasting panel / june 2013 TP0613_080-119.indd 118 5/23/13 5:31 PM
