The Perfect Brunching Cocktails

by Cascade Ice on May 28, 2015

Spring and summer time bring a lot of enjoyable things along with them, but one of the best is without doubt brunch. Brunch is the perfect meal for wedding or baby showers, birthdays, or even just some catch-up time with your girlfriends. Whatever the occasion, brunch is always a lot of fun- as is the menu! We have created two Cascade Ice inspired brunch-ready cocktails that will be perfect for your next gathering.

Orange Mango Mimosa
This recipe is easy and quick for those last-minute brunches! Combine 1 oz. orange juice, 2 oz. Cascade Ice Orange Mango and 2 oz. of your favorite champagne in a champagne flute.  Garnish with a slice of mango or  an orange twist. Voile!

Pretty Pink Spritzer

This is a great cocktail for all of the ladies who love to be pretty in pink! Start by dipping the rim of your glass in pink sand sugar (you will need to wet the rim of your glass for the sugar to stick), then fill it half way with ice. Next, and add 4 oz. Cascade Ice Pink Grapefruit, 2 oz. citron vodka, and 2 oz. pink moscato. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and enjoy!

The Perfect Memorial Day Refresher

by Cascade Ice on May 21, 2015

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and the crowds are getting ready to celebrate the memory of so many loved ones who were lost while serving our country. Many of you will attend parades, others will have parties and some will choose to stay at home. No matter how you celebrate Memorial Day, Cascade Ice is here to keep you refreshed.

We have put together a delightful recipe in dedication to this national holiday, and we hope you will enjoy it with your families and loved ones!

Stars and Stripes

Start by freezing ice cubes infused with red and/ or blue food coloring in an ice tray (make this even more fun by using ice trays with fun molds!). Once your ice cubes are ready, fill your glass half full with them. Then add an ounce of strawberry syrup or strawberry liqueur. In a separate glass or shaker, combine 3 oz. Cascade Ice Coconut with 2 oz. strawberry flavored vodka, and then add it to your ice-filled glass. Lastly, add an ounce of blue curacao and garnish with a strawberry.

Enjoy!
