We Tried Every Hint Flavor — These Are The Best
While you've been sipping on things like "coffee" and "soda", Hint water has been becoming the de facto drink of silicon valley. It's water, reinvented. Just kidding! It's not reinvented at all, and that's kind of what makes it different. Hint is water infused with real fruit essence and nothing else. No sweeteners, no calories and no preservatives.
It's water with a HINT of flavor. Get it? And they have a lot of flavors to choose from. Twenty-eight in all, and we tried every single one. To be honest, not all Hint waters are [insert 100% emoji] [insert praise hand emoji]. There are some misses, but there are also some of the tastiest flavored waters we've ever tried. Here are the 10 absolute best Hint Water flavors.
10. Peach
The peach flavor was very gentle. And when it comes to peach-flavored things that aren't actual peaches, a hint of flavor is all you need. We should also note that drinking still flavored water — in a seltzer-saturated world — takes some getting used to. There's no carbonation to cut or cover the flavor. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it just takes some recalibrating.
9. Strawberry Kiwi Fizz
Speaking of, it's no surprise that five of our top 10 flavors were sparkling. What can we say? We're a bunch of millennials, and fizzy things make us feel fancy. This tasted like a fizzy daiquiri you'd drink on the beach at two in the afternoon talking to a bartender wearing a Hawaiian shirt without an ounce of irony. Yeah. Except for the horrible next-day hangover, it was just like that.
8. Pineapple Peach
Delicious. The tart/sweet balance was exactly right. Pineapple and Peach are familiar flavors, but this didn't taste like anything else we've tried before.
7. Raspberry
Unlike the blackberry flavor, the raspberry had a slight tartness to it that made it work. It only took a few sips for us to recognize that this was a flavored water you could drink a lot of. And if you're trying to drink more water, isn't that the point?
6. Grapefruit Fizz
Most water brands have their grapefruit-flavored offering. Hint's was a little less tart, with a stronger aftertaste. Folks really liked this one, which shows how much they really, really liked all the others on this list.
5. Crisp Apple
Imagine you are eating a green candy apple. Now imagine that you're actually drinking the green candy apple, and there's no added sugar, and it won't rot your teeth out. We've probably lost you, but that's what this one tasted like.
4. Peach Fizz
We liked this for all the reasons we liked the still version. It's got a subtle, highly-drinkable peach flavor and enough fizz to make it feel like a bellini. Throw in some vodka, and we'd drink that cocktail in a pinch.
3. Honeydew
This one smelled delicious and tasted just as good — light, crisp and refreshing. It's exactly what you'd hope honeydew water would taste like.
2. Watermelon Fizz
This bottle exploded when we opened it. Wiping carbonated water off our pants, we were prepared to dislike it, hate it even. But we couldn't do it. The Watermelon Fizz was too sweet and delightful. Instead, a few of us ran to claim two more bottles and put them in the fridge for later. 10/10, would spill and drink again.
1. Watermelon
This water is so. dang. refreshing. It tastes bright, extremely fresh and different than just about any other flavored water brand we'd ever had before. Somehow, Hint figured out how to bottle up sunshine and summertime and fireworks and laying on the grass on a Saturday afternoon. Cheers, Hint.
