Obviously a candle is not a beverage, but I like these supermarket staples to keep my house smelling fresh. Once the soy wax is used up, I wash out the jars and add to my cabinet; they’re the perfect size for anything from water to wine.

Matcha LOVE Single Serve Japanese Matcha
Matcha LOVE
These handy packets were designed for on-the-go caffeinating; although I no longer go anywhere, they’re great single-servings of matcha — my preferred way to caffeinate after 12 p.m. so I can actually sleep that night.

Amazon

Topo Chico (Pack of 12)
Amazon
I really don’t know what it is about this Brooklyn-endorsed mineral water, but it lives up to the hype. 10/10 for taste, bubbliness and bottle design. (And yes, I reuse the bottles and take them to the park for clout.)

Is alcohol hydrating? No! Are these delicious? Extremely! These drinks are summer in a can and perfect for a post-work picnic (in a koozie, of course).
