Iced Coconut Water Americano
A couple things have happened since I moved to New Mexico from New York: I have to drink way more to stay hydrated, and I have constant access to an espresso machine. This is one of my favorite hydrating espresso drinks to make in the afternoon when it's sweltering outside. Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes, and espresso is high in antioxidants, so it's delicious and nutritious.
I opted to drink mine out of my favorite Iittala glass, the Aalto Vase, which was a beautiful wedding gift to my husband and I from my aunt and uncle. Iittala is a Finnish glass company that makes some of the most stunning pieces--having one makes me feel more connected to Finland! I love having those little moments of connection sprinkled throughout my day, especially in ways I can share with my husband. If you do purchase the Aalto vase from this link, I earn a small commission which helps me continue to run this blog ;)
