What is Gay Water?

two answers, because it's both a thing people say and a thing you can buy.

the slang

"gay water" is what gay men have called a vodka soda for years: the go-to gay bar order. light, low-calorie, gets the job done, and you can drink a few without regret. order one anywhere with a rainbow flag in the window and the bartender knows exactly what you mean.

the brand

in 2023, founder spencer hoddeson made it official. gay water is a queer-owned canned vodka soda made with three ingredients: real vodka, sparkling water, and natural fruit flavor. every can is 80 calories, 0 sugar, 4% abv, gluten-free and vegan. it comes in four flavors (lime, grapefruit, watermelon, peach) and has been covered by cnn business, cnbc, yahoo finance, the new york post and buzzfeed.

do you have to be gay to drink gay water?
