Mavea and Brimfield (Perfect Together)

"Gorgeous product, delicious water, may I have another glass?" were some of the comments heard at the Brimfield VIP tent at the event known simply as Brimfield.  Are you in the design business?  Like found objects? Antiques, Interior Design? 
You already know about Brimfield.
For those who don't know about Brimfield, I was asked by The Daily Basics to do live mixology in the VIP tent.  But cocktails in a tent?  That requires fresh water?  Oh, the water, yeah.  I had a hose. 
There was plenty of fresh ice and of course all that fabulous seltzer water from Polar Beverages, but sometimes a pitcher of water is just right.
The Mavea water pitcher system draws your eye.  Even the curves are sexy! I own an orange one and it's just gorgeous to look at.   I rested the Mavea Pitcher on the bar with stack of glasses. 
There was never a moment when the pitcher wasn't the center of attraction. 
We had a blast at Brimfield.  The Mavea pitcher made my bar a thing of great beauty. 
Interior Design for the body.
Cocktails made with the Mavea Water are enhanced by a liquid augmentation of pure.
Some of the things that I've experimented with are indeed the simplest to produce at home.
 
Zest a lemon taking care not to cut the bitter pith.
Add this zest to an ice cube tray and cover with Mavea water. Freeze
Use with Brooklyn Republic Vodka and seltzer with fresh mint.
 
Gather some roses that have not been sprayed, and remove them from the stems, chop into little bits, how small?  Little!
Sprinkle over an ice cube tray and cover with Mavea water.  Freeze.
Use with Tenneyson Absinthe and Royal Rose Simple Syrup of Roses with Bitter End Thai Bitters.
Scrape fresh nutmeg into an ice cube tray.  Cover with a 50/50 blend of coconut water and Mavea filtered water.
Crush and add to a cocktail glass.  Serve with Rhuby (USDA Certified Organic Rhubarb Liqueur) and Atlantico Rum. (White Rum)
Adjust sweetness with Royal Rose Cardamom Clove Simple Syrup.
Cheers!  wb
