Pucker Up for Pomegranate Month

by Cascade Ice on November 29, 2012

Did you know it is National Pomegranate month?  Even though there are only a couple days left in the month, it’s not too late to celebrate with a few pomegranate drink recipes. After all, this antioxidant-rich fruit is good for you all year around!

We used some of our pomegranate-based flavors to mix some great drinks for your whole family.  By cutting out some of the extras found in sodas like sugar, sodium and calories, Cascade Ice can help you enjoy your favorite flavors without the guilt. Try one of our pomegranate recipes and see for yourself!

Treat the kids to a refreshing Pomegranate Icer for dinner tonight and watch their faces light up. To try this drink, pour 4oz of Cascade Ice Pomegranate Berry and 1oz of Cascade Ice Lemonade into a glass with crushed ice. Garnish the drink with some fresh pomegranate seeds for the perfect touch and serve!

For the adults at the table, try a Pomegranate Breezer.  Using your shaker, mix a handful of ice, 4oz of Cascade Ice Acai Pomegranate Dragonfruit, 1oz of tequila and some pomegranate seeds. Stir the cocktail and drain into a glass once chilled. Add some flair with a thinly cut lemon peel.

We dare you not to love these delicious pomegranate recipes at your next dinner. Hope your family savors this new twist to the super fruit. Enjoy the rest of National Pomegranate Month!

Delicious Thanksgiving Drinks for Your Feast

by Cascade Ice on November 15, 2012

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!

Festive Ways to Keep Your Cascade Ice Chilled

by Cascade Ice on November 8, 2012

Thanksgiving is fast-approaching and we want to help you get all your bases covered!  We have a fun and easy way to keep your Cascade Ice drinks chilled so that your guests stay refreshed throughout the day.

Instead of having a bulky ice cooler for all your drinks, use a seasonal pumpkin ice bucket.  To make your own, clean out a pumpkin and place a glass bowl inside to hold the ice. Once your bowl is ready, you can fill up your pumpkin with all your favorite Cascade Ice flavors!

If you’re wondering what you can mix up with your chilled Cascade Ice, try our Fall Apple Tini. Use your mixer to stir 1ozof vodka, 4 oz of Cascade Ice Zero Calorie Apple Tini Mixer and some apple wedges. Once you’ve stirred the contents, strain into your martini glass and enjoy! If you want to pull out all the stops, add an apple wheel to the glass.

This is a fun and simple way to keep those delicious drinks cold and add some cute decorations to your home for fall. Do you have any great decorating ideas?

With the clock falling back an hour this weekend, we bet you’re as excited as we are about getting that extra hour of sleep! Use this opportunity to invite some friends over for a cocktail hour to welcome the shorter days ahead.  Looking for some low-calorie options? Try out some of our Fall Back cocktails for the perfect send-off to Daylight Savings.

Start the evening with a Pineapple Sunrise. In your stainless steel shaker, add 1.5oz of spiced rum, 2oz of Cascade Ice’s Zero-Calorie Pineapple Blueberry Banana, and 0.5oz of ginger ale. Stir the contents and pour over ice. Add a pineapple wedge to the rim for some flare.

Follow up with a Sparkling Sun Slush. For this drink, you’ll need a handful of ice, 2oz of citrus vodka, 4oz of Cascade Ice’s Zero-Calorie Orange Mango and the juice of a lime. Blend the ingredients to your desired consistency and serve with an orange wedge.

These flavorful cocktails will keep you refreshed and ready for the time change. Don’t forget to turn back the clock Saturday night!
