Ever wonder how the stars stay so thin and in shape? Beyond the personal trainers, celebrity diets, and plastic surgery some stars actually eat right and cut out the sweets. Well - one sweet the stars are keeping in their regimen is Pure Cool flavored water. This drink has zero calories, zero sugar, zero fructose, zero artificial sweeteners, and zero preservatives, but with all that's missing - it's still packed with flavor.

Pure Cool is so cool it can be mixed with distilled spirits to prepare hydrating, and lower-calorie cocktails. Add rum to Tropical Tiki for a piña colada - minus the 500 calories, sugar and fat. Likewise Mojo Cool - adding rum makes a refreshing Mojito. Try Pear Ginger instead of tonic water with gin or vodka for a crisp refreshing change. Triple Chill makes a tasty martini. Pure Cool is also an alternative non-alcoholic choice, formerly limited to club soda, cola and bottled water. These unique features provide purchase incentive for every season and holiday, making Pure Cool a year-round winner.

Here's our favorite Pure Cool cocktail - Simply add Tropical Tiki Pure Cool to a glass with ice, add light rum, and shake. To really mix things up add some coconut sorbet or fresh pineapple. Garnish with pineapple wedge and cherry.

You can find Pure Cool at convenience and grocery stores throughout the Hamptons. For more information go to www.drinkpurecool.com.
