The intense heat of a sauna session demands serious replenishment, and Sauna Water is a ready-to-drink, mineral-rich option that's more rewarding than plain water and more convenient than an electrolyte mix. Each botanical wellness beverage inspired by sauna culture features 65 milligrams of mineralized sea salt, for an experience that's part mocktail and part functional hydration.
Forest Fields combines blood orange with calming chamomile, warming ginger, and antioxidant-rich sumac, while Nordic Spruce stays true to its name by matching fresh spruce tips with aromatic cardamom, juniper berries, and pressed lemon. Completing the current Sauna Water lineup, Superior Coast unites pressed lime and juniper with anti-inflammatory sage. These drinks align with the rise of communal sauna experiences in North America, as well as functional refreshment and a general interest in longevity.
