Issue #226 What Do These Six American Waters Have in Common?

Hey Y'all, T

here’s a story in every sip—and in this case, six of them.

At Salacious Drinks, we believe that bottled water should be more than a convenience. It should be an experience, a journey of terroir, time, and taste. That’s why I’m proud to introduce our newest curated collection: the New American Source Box.

This 6-pack of premium natural waters tells a distinctly American story—from glacial wilderness to volcanic slopes, from sustainable artesian wells to iconic historic springs. Here's what you'll discover when you sip your way through this hydrating tribute to the USA:

🇺🇸 Clear Alaska – Glacial Spring Water

Source: Eklutna Glacier, Alaska
TDS: 30 mg/L (approx.)
Imagine the untouched wilds of Alaska captured in a bottle. Clear Alaska is drawn from an ancient glacier, filtered by nature over millennia. It's light, crisp, and pristine—perfect for sipping on a quiet morning walk or pairing with sushi or oysters where subtlety is key.

🌋 Waiākea – Volcanic Alkaline Water

Source: Keaʻau Aquifer, Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii
TDS: 110 mg/L | Silica: 36 mg/L | pH: 8.2
This isn’t just water—it’s rain filtered through 14,000 feet of volcanic rock. Waiākea is naturally alkaline and rich in beneficial minerals like silica (for glowing skin). It’s smooth, lightly mineralized, and honestly a treat with dark chocolate or fresh tropical fruit.

🏞️ Mountain Valley – Spring Water in Aluminum

Source: Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs, Arkansas
TDS: 220 mg/L | pH: 7.8
A true American classic. Once served in the White House and still beloved by athletes and chefs, Mountain Valley Spring Water is full-bodied and silky. This version comes in sleek aluminum bottles—lightweight and endlessly recyclable. A road trip must-have.

⛰️ Proud Source – Rocky Mountain Artesian

Source: Mackay, Idaho
TDS: 124 mg/L | Sustainability: 100% rPET and Aluminum bottling
Sustainably sourced and bottled at the base of Idaho’s Lost River Range, Proud Source is all about stewardship. With a moderate mineral profile and gentle taste, it’s ideal for post-workout hydration or a warm afternoon picnic. Bonus: the bottle looks great on your desk.

🌊 Evamor – Deep Artesian Water from Louisiana

Source: Covington, Louisiana | Depth: 3,000+ feet
TDS: 320 mg/L | pH: 8.8
Evamor comes from a rare deep artesian aquifer protected by centuries-old volcanic rock. It’s high in natural alkalinity and soothing for those with sensitive stomachs or high-acid diets. This one’s your go-to after a big meal—or when you’re in need of deep hydration.

🌿 Virginia Artesian – Balanced East Coast Still

Source: 400-foot Artesian Well, Virginia
TDS: ~130 mg/L | pH: Neutral
Smooth and well-rounded, Virginia Artesian is like the Chardonnay of American waters—elegant, reliable, and incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with meals and makes a lovely introduction to still waters for those transitioning from sparkling options.

Why Curate American Waters?

Because the U.S. is often overlooked in the world of natural fine waters. While European springs tend to dominate the conversation, our landscape is just as diverse and hydrologically rich. This box is an invitation to rediscover America through a mineral lens.

How to Enjoy the Box

• Taste Test with Friends: Set up a water tasting night—compare TDS, pH, and mouthfeel.

• Pair with Food: Use each water to highlight a regional American dish.

• Hydrate with Purpose: Learn what each water gives your body—minerals like silica for skin, bicarbonate for digestion, magnesium for muscle recovery.

• Gift It: Know someone trying to drink less soda or alcohol? This box is a perfect, healthy nudge.

Water is not just water. It is geography, geology, and even philosophy in a glass.
And with the New American Source Box, you don’t need a passport to experience the depths of natural hydration—just an open mind and a curious palate.
