We all need to be drinking more water these days. There are plenty of creative ways to make sure you’re getting your daily dose of H20. Some stay hydrated by adding lemons or artificial sweeteners to their bottles, but if you want to get even more luxe, might we suggest crystal-infused water, which has been touted by wellness fans for its calming effect. Gem-Water, a fleet of pristine water bottles, one-ups that trend by using gemstones, rare minerals that are used as jewelry.

Gem-Water’s Vision Crystal Bottle by Vitajuwel

is the brand’s winning product that men prefer. You can be a winner, too, because we’re giving readers a chance to win a new Vision Crystal Edition Gem-Water by Vitajuewel with a black sleeve, a $196 value, with no purchase necessary. Read further to learn more about this gorgeous bottle and how you can enter the contest and be the lucky winner.

Enter to win

There is a lot to say about the Vision Crystal Edition Gem-Water, so let’s start with the high points. Made of lead-free borosilicate glass, and fairly traded crystals, the bottles are manufactured in Germany and have become the #1 selling crystal water bottles in the world. And while crystal-infused water has seen increased interest in the past decades, gems have been used to spruce up water for over two thousand years, dating back to ancient Greece.

Upon first glance, Gem-Water’s Vision bottle is sleekly designed, and is made from borosilicate glass, with stainless steel caps, and features shungite and clear quartz. Shungite is only found in Russia, and it’s been said to help you feel grounded, and block EMF. Clear Quartz is known as the master healing stone and amplifies any stones it is paired with. So, having your Vision bottle by your computer while working is an added bonus.

The bottle not only looks good, but is good for the environment, helping you to never buy another plastic water bottle again! The Vision Crystal Edition Gem-Water is the perfect addition to your work-from-home setup when you need a boost of positive energy and hydration (two everyday essentials, in our book). The bottle and black carry sleeve total $196, but wouldn’t free be even better?

Gem-Water and The Manual are working together to give our readers a chance to win a free Vision Crystal Bottle by entering below. The contest ends November 2, so act now to be in the running for this gorgeous bottle.

Gin goes with everything! From strawberries to carrot
The Connaught

As an avowed gin lover, one of the things I enjoy about the spirit is its ability to mix with a wide range of ingredients. It can do some much more than a Gin & Tonic, as depending on the botanicals used in a particular gin it can be combined with everything from herbal lushness to bracing bitterness to fruity sweetness.

A balanced gin like Fords is a great choice for mixing as it isn't overly sharp or bitter, but still has enough interest to add depth to any drink you make with it. These recipes from bartenders around the world show just how diverse gin drinks can be, combining ingredients from strawberries and coconut to carrot and grapefruit.

When it comes to spirits, there are none as unique as gin. When distilled, gin doesn’t have much flavor, save for the ingredients it’s made with. It’s not all that different from vodka. It’s the addition of juniper berries and various herbs and botanicals either in the distillation process itself (or a second distillation), through vapor infusion (the herbs and botanicals are hung in a basket in the still), or through maceration (adding the flavors to an already distilled gin) that give the gin its distinct, memorable aromas and flavors.

If you’ve ever had gin (or even sniffed it), you know the most potent ingredient is juniper berries. They are what gives gin its patented pine tree aroma and flavor. Other common ingredients include orris root, angelica root, orange peel, and licorice.

Give your gimlet a herbal twist with this vodka cocktail
Ghost Hill Organic Vodka

The Gimlet is one of those cocktails that is so simple and such a classic that it's easily overlooked. Whilst I lean toward a Gin Gimlet (and I have strong feelings like it should be made with fresh lime juice and sugar syrup rather than a pre-made lime cordial), you can also experiment with different spirits such as the also popular Vodka Gimlet.

The simple recipe is ripe for experimentation though, and especially when you are working with vodka, you have a lot of leeway to incorporate other ingredients to add more interest and unique personality to your drink. This recipe from Ghost Hill Organic Vodka showcases the smooth and clean notes of the spirit while also allowing space for the other ingredients to shine -- not only lime juice and simple syrup, but also the addition of sage leaves for a more herbal note.
