Our number one goal this time of year? It’s all about finding the quickest route from overheated to chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool.
Arkansas’ own Treatsie Artisan Sweets (aka the monthly subscription box of your sweet tooth dreams) is on the same wavelength. They looked to Mountain Valley Spring Water for answers, using its line of flavored sparkling spring water perfect for cooling you off and adding another dimension to your summertime cocktail in one beautiful step.
Ladies and gents, this is truly ingenuity at its finest.
