The hustle and bustle of the fall season is upon us and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. For most of us, that means a calorie overload is not far behind! While we can’t help in reducing the calorie count in yams or cranberry sauce, we can give you some ideas on low-calorie, festive drinks to serve!
Serve up a Cranberry Kiss Cocktail to enjoy during appetizer hour. To mix, use 3oz of Cascade Ice Cranberry Pomegranate, 2oz of ginger ale and 2oz of gin. Stir the contents in your shaker with a handful of ice and garnish with sprig of cranberries.
This one’s for the kids! Instead of serving soda for Thanksgiving dinner, try our Apple Cinnamon Sparkler. Simply mix 4oz of Cascade Ice McIntosh Apple and 2oz of spiced apple cider in a glass with ice. Add a green apple wedge and a cinnamon stick to complete the yummy drink.
Using Cascade Ice’s line of flavorful and refreshing sparkling waters, your waistline won’t suffer from the calorie-overload that’s ahead. We wish you a happy Thanksgiving, surrounded by a great meal and loved ones!
