Some folks like to drink coconut water because it tastes good — not because it’s a fashionable, semi-exotic-sounding liquid that has some specious health claims. Some fads, like drinking raw milk are actually not that healthy. But if you just like trying out new stuff to drink (and carry around in a bottle or cup), check out a few of these links.

• Maybe it’s just in Brooklyn that it’s cool to drink bone broth from a coffee cup. As long as it’s not as expensive as $6 toast, who can argue against a tasty cup of soup? [url]
• Drinking reclaimed water is nothing new, but people are a little repulsed by the idea of drinking water that was recently treated from a sewer system. But maybe people won’t be so turned off by beer brewed with 100% treated waste water? Or they might get pissed in multiple ways. [url]
• How about a refreshing pint of mead? It’s not just a medieval honey-based drink anymore. A traditional brew would have about 16% alcohol content, but more modern versions have less than 6% or so. Mead is also one of the fastest growing segments in the US alcohol industry. [url]
• If you haven’t heard of rooibos tea, well, maybe you haven’t really missed out on anything. It’s technically not a tea, but a tisane or infusion — and maybe it’s soo four years ago. [url]

After you’ve finished checking out those links, take a look at our Daily Deals for cool gadgets and other awesome stuff.
