It’s that time of the year again! Strawberries are at their very freshest and ripest … So why not make a cocktail using this perfectly sweet fruit? Our Cascade Ice Strawberry Mint Spritzer can be made with or without alcohol and will become your new warm weather favorite. Made with zero calorie Cascade Ice Sparkling Water, seasonal fruit and fresh herbs, it makes the perfect summer chiller. We’ve even offered some other in-season alternatives if you’d like to personalize the recipe!

Cascade Ice Strawberry Mint Spritzer 

1 cup fresh strawberry slices

¼ cup fresh mint leaves

2 cups Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Wild Berry 

2 oz. vodka (optional)

Add 1 tbsp. agave nectar for a little extra sweetness (optional)

Muddle fresh strawberries and mint in desired (preferably large) glass. Do this until you have a fine puree (you can use a food processor if desired). Add ice, followed by vodka and sparkling water. Garnish with mint and/or strawberries.

*You can also use fresh raspberries, thyme or rosemary to this drink to give it an interesting combination of flavors. Enjoy!
