Thirst quencher in Québec (3)

I believe the answer is:

eau

(Other definitions for eau that I've seen before include "Popular toilet water - . . . de Cologne" , "-- de vie" , "Water in France" , "French water from chateaux" , "French water - de Cologne?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
