-Most commercial water/fluid reward systems used in research settings cost a few hundred dollars (or more) and aren't easily modified. This is a fairly quick hack, but it does the job well and won't cost you >$100.. much less if you already have some of the components sitting around. Using a peristaltic pump is preferred, as the motor never actually comes into contact with the fluid itself.

The physical assembly was done using odd metal pieces I had laying around. I'm not particularly proud of it, but it works fine (it doesn't really need a physical assembly to be functional). See pictures for reference.
