The trick was figuring out how to deliver that experience on the go.” Since the company’s launch in 2005 Goldin has found a way to infuse water with fruit flavor. Hint now comes in nine flavours including cucumber, lime, and pear. Just a hint of flavour can add so much. www.drinkhint.com GREEN Drinks wILLIAMS SOnOMA premium Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker g R EEn M ACHIn E The elegant and user friendly margarita maker is the easiest way to please a crowd in minutes.
