Hard Seltzers are Having a Moment … Here’s how you can easily make your own

by Cascade Ice on April 9, 2021

Everywhere you look these days, companies are coming up with a new offering for a “hard seltzer.” And for good reason – not only are they delicious, but they are also low in calories and sugar compared to other alcoholic beverages. But you don’t need to buy pre-packaged hard seltzers when you have the right ingredients (like Cascade Ice Sparkling Water) at home!

Here are a few refreshing homemade hard seltzer flavors that you can whip up for your next happy hour with minimal ingredients and saving some money in the process.

Lemon-Lime Mint

When you combine the tartness of lemon and lime with the refreshing taste of mint, you simply can’t go wrong. To whip up a lemon-lime mint flavored hard seltzer, simply muddle a small handful of fresh mint leaves and pour a can of Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water in Lemon Lime  over 1 shot glass of tequila in your preferred glass. Garnish with fresh lime if desired. Make sure your sparkling water is cold – it makes for a crisp, slightly sweet drink on a warm day! 

Pink Grapefruit 

Reminiscent of the classic Greyhound cocktail, a hard seltzer with pink grapefruit is as delicious (and low calorie as can be!) Combine a can of Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water in Pink Grapefruit with 1 shot glass of vodka and squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top. Want to get fancy? Add a sprig of fresh rosemary for garnish.

Ginger Orange 

This flavor packs a punch that tastes sweet and ever so slightly spicy! Take a can of Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water in Ginger Lime, and add 2 shot glasses of champagne and a splash of pulp-free orange juice. Easy as that – and you can dress it up however you’d like with fresh fruit or any type of complimentary garnish.
