Can you believe the official start to Autumn is next week?? For us, this means finding any excuse to indulge in warm seasonal flavors. But you don’t need heavy, sugar-laden drinks to get into the festive Fall spirit! We’ve created the perfect low-calorie Fall drink: the Spiced Blackberry Cider Spritz. By combining fresh orchard apple cider, warm spices, muddled blackberries, and topping it off with our crisp, Blackberry flavored Cascade Ice Sparkling Water, you get all the cozy autumn vibes in a light, refreshing, low-guilt sip.

Pinch of ground nutmeg

4 oz Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Blackberry 

Optional garnish: Cinnamon stick, apple slice, and fresh mint

Gently press the blackberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and maple syrup together in the bottom of a glass. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh apple cider until evenly blended.
