Every party needs festive drink choices and nothing could be more colorful or simple than spa water. Last summer I posted a tutorial on Beard & Bonnet for making infused waters at home and it is still one of our most popular posts on our site. I am guessing that lots of you prepare infused waters at home for yourself, but it seems like they aren’t always first on the list when it comes to entertaining.
There is a bit of time involved, but it isn’t active time, so when you are planning your next gathering be sure to add this one to your ‘to-do’ list. It’s beautiful, delicious, and a festive alternative for guests that aren’t consuming cocktails.
This recipe makes a gallon of strawberry cucumber spa water which is the perfect amount for a gathering of 12- 15 people if you have other drinks to offer as well. If you are interested in making a batch of spa water for yourself simply complete the steps to infuse the water, strain out the fruit and store the flavored water in a gallon size container in the fridge for up to 2 days – Feel free to add fresh sliced berries and cucumbers to individual glasses of the spa water each time you indulge!
