With Halloween c-r-eeeeping up in a few weeks, it’s time to start thinking of spooky drink recipes that will have family and friends screaming in delight.  Filling up on candy and sweets this fright-tastic holiday makes it hard to feel guilt-free, but have no fear! Cascade Ice is to the rescue with some delicious and healthy drink recipes for your upcoming parties.

Brew up some Blood Punch for the kids’ costume party. Using a large punch bowl, mix 3 parts of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Cranberry Pomegranate with 1.5 parts of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie McIntosh Apple. Then stir in 1.5 parts cups of grape juice and 2 parts club soda. Add in 2 cups of frozen strawberries to complement the flavors and serve away!

To try the Boo-Berry Slushy, pour 5oz of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Blueberry Watermelon and 5oz of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Wild Berry into a blender, along with a handful of ice. Add a cup of blueberries and mix to desired consistency. Pour the slushy into a glass and garnish with blueberries or even gummy worms!

No holiday is complete without a mixed drink for mom and dad – we recommend The Screamsicle! Mix 6oz Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Orange Mango with 1/2 oz of Orange Vodka. Then pour in 2oz of whipped cream-flavored vodka in a glass with ice. Garnish your drink with some red or black liquorish!
