I would give her a bottle and a bowl. It's always a good idea to have two water sources in case one fails.

All our hamsters have both and one of our dwarfs prefers the bowl, the others use both.
I put a pebble or glass marble large enough not to be pouched in the bowl so i don't have to worry that a tiny hamster could fall into it.

Muppet is a gorgeous little thing! Looking forward to see more of her.
