I wasn't aware that water had a taste but some alternatives are herbal and/or decaf teas, sparkling water with no added sugar fruit flavours. You could also just add some flavours to water eg a bit of lemon/ lime juice or a small amount of no added sugar cordial.9

honestly there is really no replacement. Water is the best option. This may be something you will just have to get past and do it anyways. Try different waters some have better taste than others. I like spring water best personally.13

The taste of water varies from place to place. Your municipal water tastes different from your bottled water.
What water are you talking about? Filtered? Tap? Bottled?1 -
Conversely what do you mean by unhealthy OP?
I get a lot of my hydration from numerous cups of tea throughout the day but when I'm exercising water or for long duration exercise sports drinks (normally mixed by me).
Diet coke, milk and Ribena also feature regulalrly.

I like water with lemon or lime in it. I usually just drink that or tea. There’s lots of teas out there to choose from and you can either drink it hot or cold. Green tea is really good and I love mango tea. Also you could tried the flavored waters.2

Water is your only option. Add ice.32

As long as it's not alcohol, or you aren't just drinking regular pop all the time, anything.4

Do you dislike all water, or just your local tap water? Buy a water filter if your tap water tastes bad, or bottled water if the filter still doesn’t help.
If by “healthy” you mean low calorie: tea, coffee, water with fruit, sparkling water, low calorie juice, diet soda, skim milk.5 -

Most kinds of drinks will hydrate you. You can put those little flavor packets in water if you want or lemon. Or whatever other fruit you like. Sparkling flavored water. Whatever.2

If you are an adult--get used to it! Seriously! I dislike the taste of water in Texas. All of the dissolved solids coupled with the water treatment to make it safe to drink add an unpleasant taste according to my palate. My solution was to filter the tap water. I recently bought a reverse osmosis system and full house filtration. BEST investment ever! Now I guzzle the water! I take RO water with me where ever I go so I have something to sip on.10

In the UK people say the water tastes different in different parts of the country so I know you mean about a taste, but really for me water just tastes of water. In work, I would drink maybe 3 litres of water then only tea or coffee at home. I really tried with the tap water at home and it just didn't appeal to me at all. Thinking about work water - it was ice cold and filtered - I already pay for water to be piped into my house so I'm not going to pay more for bottled, and I'm always mindful of the extra plastic to end up in the ocean. So I put tap water in a drinks bottle in the fridge. Problem solved! For me it was the temperature of the water. Now I have a 5L tap container in the fridge, it fits on a shelf easy and I have ice cold water whenever I want it. I take a bottle with me everywhere. Try it and see if that helps with the taste.0

gotta go with Triple Chocolate Milkshakes
.... with the clear understanding that the word 'healthy' is relative.
