    I add 250ml of cranberry juice to my 1.5L bottle of water.

    Try filling a pitcher with water and a sliced cucumber before you go to bed. In the morning take out the cucumber slices and enjoy the water all day. It's so refreshing.

    Make ice tea is a big jug in the fridge. Use organic sugar free tea, such as good quality green tea or camomile tea. Make a really strong cup of tea then add that to approx a litre of water and put the jug in the fridge. Keep filling up your cup with ice tea all day!

    The only time I usually want "more interesting water" is when I'm at the pub. Then I order soda water (plain sparkling water) with ice and fresh lemon or lime. It makes me feel like I'm drinking when the mister is having a beer (and I'm usually the skipper so I prefer not to drink when I'm driving).

    Mostly though, I think its a good idea to put on your big boy/girl panties and just drink water... it doesn't have to be interesting to quench my thirst.
    However if you feel like you are getting dehydrated or have a medical reason to keep hydrated to a certain level, and find it hard to take in enough plain water - then get your water in other ways - soup, fruit, popsicles, other "wet" foods, plus tea, coffee etc. They all hydrate your body to some degree.

    Try Evian. Expensive, but I love the cooling after effects. It's my favorite bottled water, and I'm worth it.

    I have one one those fruit infuser water bottles. This one, to be exact:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00VHGJFUC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

    It has a little mesh basket type thing and you put little fruit slices, or anything you want really, in the basket and use like a regular water bottle. It is the same idea as fruit slices in a pitcher but more portable, and you don't need to change the fruit every re-fill if you are out and about. I don't, anyway. I guess it depends what you use.

    I generally use lemon with a little orange but you could use anything you want, really. As weak or as strong as you want. This type of bottle comes in a range of sizes too!

    I just drink it. Room temp so I can chug it faster. Through a straw so I can chug it faster. But beyond that, I've been doing it so long that it's a habit and I don't pay much attention to it anymore.

    I used to add propel flavor packets or the zero calorie koolaid droplets.

    Now I just either add protein powder or turn water into coffee or tea. I might go back to buying propel powder as I get more serious about my fitness plans, though.

    Oh, I have the best answer! Put some frozen berries in it. I drink out of quart jars so I put a quarter cup or half cup in, but in a glass you'd only put in a few tablespoons. It flavors the water and you get a sweet treat at the end. A half cup of berries is 35 calories. A small price to pay if you ask me.

    I also like my water warmish. I find it goes down better that way, but I'm also one of those people who's always cold, so that might explain why cold water turns me off.
