Super Bowl XLVII is this Sunday! Are you ready to watch the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers battle it out? Whether you’re planning to entertain for the big game or just hanging with a small group, Cascade Ice has created two low-calorie, scrumptious cocktails that are sure to be a touchdown with your friends & family!
Start kickoff with a delicious Baltimore Berry Colada. Begin by putting a handful of ice and 2oz of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Pomegranate Berry in your blender. Then pour 3oz of your favorite rum and squeeze in the juice of a lime. Blend contents, and garnish with an orange slice for more fruity deliciousness!
During half-time, serve up a Niner Nojito. Start with a chilled glass filled 1/3 of the way with ice. Add in fresh mint leaves. Pour in 5oz Cascade Ice Mojito Cocktail Mixer with 3oz of chilled rum! Rim the glass with red sugar crystals and add berries for a bit more flair. Enjoy the rest of the game with your minty cocktail!
No matter who you’re cheering for, these game-day cocktails are the perfect addition to your afternoon.

The Cascade Ice Challenge is off to a great start! We are challenging three people to cut out soda from their diet, and replace it with a bottle of tasty, zero-calorie Cascade Ice. Want to meet our participants? They were all eager to start the New Year with a bang by committing themselves to kicking soda to the curb. Get to know them a little bit so you can root them on to conquer the challenge!
Jennifer Heeth
I would like to participate in the Cascade Ice Challenge because I know it is taking a step towards better health. I am getting married next August, and want to look great for my wedding. I think Cascade Ice is a valuable tool to help me in that challenge!
Why is cutting soda out of your diet important to you?
I think that every step you can take, no matter how big or small, to improve your diet will allow you to reap health benefits long-term. Even if you don’t notice an immediate difference, you are making a deposit into a savings account for your health.
How do you feel at the end of the day with your current diet and level of physical activity?
I feel pretty good about my current level of physical activity because I am at the very least staying consistent with lifting weights for an hour twice a week and an hour of stretching 1-2 times a week. I do think that my diet has room for improvement because I love my steak and potatoes!
What do you hope to achieve by participating in the Cascade Ice Challenge?
I hope to be able to use this as a tool to put me on the right track for looking good, and above all, better health. I especially wanted to participate because my wedding is coming up in the summer, and who doesn’t want to look good for their wedding? I am actually having two weddings, one here in the U.S. and one in China. My fiancé is originally from there. By having two weddings, we are honoring both of our cultures and both sides of the family. I definitely want to look good for that!
Ryan Workman
I want to take part in the Cascade Ice Challenge because I’m having a hard time “quitting” soda. I love the carbonation and overall taste!
What are your current eating and drinking habits? What percentage of your eating would be considered “healthy?”
I try to eat three meals a day. However, sometimes I just skip breakfast and do lunch and dinner. Lunch sandwiches or leftovers, dinner I have the vegetables and red meat or chicken or pastas. I consume about 3 sodas a day and 2 late at night.
What do you hope to achieve by participating in the Cascade Ice Challenge?
I hope to cut out soda completely, and to lose weight because of it. I’d like to further develop my wellness with Cascade Ice Water, that has that great flavor and carbonation I’m looking for.
In addition to cutting out soda during the Challenge, do you have plans to partake in a healthy diet?
I have a plan to eat breakfast every day, and to eat a light lunch with a Cascade Ice of my choice (which is McIntosh Apple right now! I’d like to cut back on red meat. Oh, and definitely no fast food, unless it’s chicken or fish!
Shannon Ramiro
I’m currently trying to lose some weight. I try to drink only water but find myself craving something sweeter. I have avoided caffeine for years and managed to get to 1-2 sodas per day, yet I haven’t cut out soda completely and I believe it impedes my ability to lose weight. I have tried Cascade Ice before and was pleasantly surprised. It satisfied my craving for something sweet!
Why is cutting soda out of your diet important to you?
I suspect that I am consuming too many calories through soda and I know all of the sugar in soda is not good for my health.
What is your current level of physical activity?
I don’t have weekly or daily exercise per se but I do have to keep up with my 5 and 7-year old, both of whom like to be carried a lot. So, I am fairly strong but not currently in shape in terms of cardio (aerobic) fitness.
How do you feel at the end of the day with your current diet and level of physical activity?
I have had a lot of headaches over the past couple of months and I’m generally pretty tired. I’ve been under a lot of stress so I know that played a part but it probably wasn’t the only contributing factor. My diet was contributing to that as well.
What do you hope to achieve by participating in the Cascade Ice Challenge?
I hope that I will change my habits enough to not go back to drinking soda. I already find my craving for soda to be satisfied through drinking Cascade Ice since the challenge started. However, when I go out to eat I have to remind myself not to order soda.
There you have it folks, our participants are determined, eager and ready to make some real changes in 2013. We’ll keep you updated on their progress. We encourage you to root them on and keep them motivated so they can come out on top!

It has always been important for Cascade Ice to support causes that truly matter to our fans. We know that a lot of our supporters drink Cascade Ice because they are diabetic, and must stick to gluten and sugar-free beverages. Thus, we are excited to share with you all that Cascade Ice will be working with the American Diabetes Association during the month of November to help promote National Diabetes Awareness Month!
We encourage you to read about and support the ADA’s campaign, “A Day in the Life of Diabetes.” They are asking Americans who suffer from diabetes to share a photo of a moment that captures what living with diabetes every day means to them. The photos will be used to build a mosaic image that will embody the message of “A Day in the Life of Diabetes.”
Whether you or someone you love lives with diabetes, take this opportunity to show your support and help raise funds for the American Diabetes Association. CVS Pharmacy will donate $1 to the ADA for every photo uploaded, up to $25,000!

Cascade Ice has expanded their store availability in Southern California, and what better way to celebrate than with an autumn cocktail party!
Cocktails, manicures, blow-outs and more! It was a night to be pampered last Wednesday evening at Frederic Fekkai Salon, where Cascade Ice hosted an Autumn Affair for Southern California media. Guests were treated to complimentary hair, nail and makeup services by the talented and friendly staff of Frederic Fekkai’s Melrose Ave. salon – experiencing a first-class night of beauty! But before the beauty began, each guest sampled the zero-calorie sparkling flavored waters and skinny cocktails by Cascade Ice.
Cascade Ice is ZERO calories and also free of sugar, gluten, sodium and carbohydrates. They’re quite delicious too! Guests’ favorite flavors of the evening included Coconut, Lemonade and the Margarita. The beverage is now available for purchase in Southern California at Albertson’s, Gelson’s, WinCo Foods & Lucky Supermarkets.
Guests were given fabulous parting gifts as well! Shampoo and Conditioner from Frederic Fekkai’s new line of PrX Reparative collection and samples of Cascade Ice to enjoy over the weekend.
We’d like to thank all the wonderful media that attended last week and the amazing ladies at Frederic Fekkai!
