As the final hours of the year quietly tick by and the world prepares to raise a glass at midnight, we find ourselves reflecting deeply grateful, energized, and more inspired than ever. This year has been one for the books, and none of it would have been possible without you.
From day one, this journey has been about more than hydration. It’s been about curiosity, intention, and choosing something better. Together, we explored natural bottled waters from around the world waters shaped by geology, time, and place. Waters that tell stories. Waters that remind us that water is not just water.
And somehow, along the way, a community formed.
Thank You for Choosing Natural, Thoughtful Hydration
To our readers who open The Droplet week after week: thank you for being curious. Thank you for asking questions about source, minerals, and sustainability. Thank you for caring about what’s in your glass and where it comes from.
To our customers: thank you for trusting us. Whether you ordered your first bottle out of curiosity or you’ve become a regular explorer building cases and tasting your way through the world, you’ve helped prove something important there is a place for thoughtful, natural, single-source water in everyday life.
Every purchase, every message, every conversation has helped us continue doing what we love: sourcing exceptional waters, sharing knowledge, and elevating the conversation around hydration.
This Year, We Reached New Heights Together
This past year was filled with milestones. New waters were discovered. New stories were told. Tastings were hosted, menus were created, and countless tables were elevated with beautiful glass bottles filled with mineral-rich water instead of something forgettable.
But beyond the visible wins, something deeper happened. More people began to slow down and pay attention. More people realized that choosing natural water is a lifestyle choice one that connects health, sustainability, and pleasure.
That shift matters.
You helped show that celebrating doesn’t require alcohol, excess, or compromise. That a glass of naturally sparkling water can feel just as festive, just as intentional, and just as worthy of a midnight toast.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next ✨
As we step into the new year, we’re filled with excitement for what’s ahead.
Expect:
-
New waters from extraordinary sources
-
More education around minerals, terroir, and water journeys
-
More tastings, events, and collaborations
-
More ways to explore water thoughtfully, whether at home, at the table, or on the go
We’re committed to continuing this mission: to elevate natural bottled water, support authentic sources, and help you discover waters that truly fit your lifestyle.
And most importantly, we’re excited to continue doing this with you.
A New Year’s Toast 🥂 (Water, of Course)
So tonight, as the clock strikes midnight, we invite you to raise a glass filled with your favorite still or sparkling water—and toast to:
-
Better choices
-
Deeper knowledge
-
Healthier habits
-
And a year filled with intention, curiosity, and connection
Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for believing that water deserves the spotlight.
Here’s to another year of discovery, gratitude, and hydration done right.
Cheers to the New Year,
The Waterlady & the Salacious Drinks Team 💙
