So while walking outside today, I got a craving for flavored water! Which got me thinking that it’s really easy to make:

• Watermelon coconut water
• Melon water
  • Have heard that you can just cut up melons, and put them in a pitcher of water overnight
• Lavender lemonade
  • Get your Lavender from Reno’s local Lavender farm = Lavender Ridge (and they have summer Happy Hours, too!)

I was also thinking that if you drink alcohol, this would be good:

• Watermelon balls soaked in vodka
  • I’ve heard that you have to careful with soaking the watermelon or else it can explode/break down the watermelon skin and it becomes a mess……maybe I’ll try and report back
• Cucumber vodka spritzer – met someone @ Wreck Beach (Vancouver, BC) who did this and it was very refreshing surprisingly
  • This was literally vodka, sparkling water, and cucumbers. The cucumbers gave the drink a nice refreshing flavor.

Here are some recipes from the Atlantis Spa (in Reno):
