They’ve sentially adopted the holy grail gay-guy cktail of sparklg water, liquor, and juice and nned and rebrand for mastream sparklg seltzers cultural appropriatn of the way gay men have been drkg for years?

Hodson built up a strong social media followg on TikTok and Instagram durg Covid-19 and is g some of the money om that (as well as om iends and fay) to help fund Gay Water. “Gay is an umbrella term and the ia behd the brand is to be as clive as possible, which means we want alli, we want straight people to be part of this muny we’re buildg.”.

For now, Gay Water is sold largely onle (wh a few retailers) and four sugar-ee flavors — watermelon, lime, peach and grapeu — at lnch.
