by Cascade Ice on February 14, 2012

We’re excited to announce the winner of the “Show Some Love for Cascade Ice” Valentine’s Day contest! The winner is… Lindsay W! See her award-winning poem below. Are you as impressed as we are?

Whether I’m relaxing or on the go,
I don’t even have to think twice.
My refrigerator door opens up
and I grab a CASCADE ICE!

No sugar, no calories,
No Way! This can’t be real!
No caffeine, sodium or gluten?
WOW! What a sweet deal!

 So many to choose from,
How could I pick a favorite?
I make sure to stock up my fridge
So I could savor it!

Huckleberry, Blackberry,
Strawberry Chocolate too!
Coconut and McIntosh Apple,
Are some of the ones that are new.

Can’t forget my weekend fun,
When my friends and I want to drink,
The Mojito Cocktail Mixer comes out,
We don’t even have to think!

An amazing guilt-free beverage,
It’s clean, crisp and delicious,
It really is a healthy choice,
You don’t have to be suspicious!

I’d better get going now,
My pen ran out of ink!
Doesn’t bother me at all
Now I can enjoy my drink!

Thank you to everyone who entered. Stay tuned for future contests and giveaways from Cascade Ice here and on our Facebook page!

Healthy Heart Drink Recipes

by Cascade Ice on February 9, 2012

February marks National Heart Month and what better way to celebrate by raising a glass of Cascade Ice! You can be heart smart year-round with Cascade Ice, but in honor of this month, try mixing up one of these heart-friendly concoctions that you can enjoy any time of day!

Pomegranate Punch
Pomegranates are full of antioxidants including punicalagins, an antioxidant that is found to protect the heart.

In a tall glass, pour in one cup of Zero-Calorie Pomegranate Berry over ice. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and sprinkle in fresh pomegranate seeds. Mix and enjoy!

Blueberry-Watermelon Spritzer
Blueberries are an excellent source of heart-healthy fiber!

In a glass, add 1/4 cup fresh blueberries. Gently crush using a spoon. Add one cup of chilled Zero-Calorie Blueberry Watermelon Cascade Ice and stir. Garnish with a small wedge of watermelon and drink away!

Pink Grapefruit Fizz
Grapefruit is not only high in fiber and low in calories; it also contains bioflavonoid, a chemical that protects against heart disease.

In a tall glass, pour one cup of Zero-Calorie Pink Grapefruit Cascade Ice over ice. Sprinkle in fresh pomegranate seeds and stir. Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to give your drink an extra kick of flavor!

You’re bound to be surrounded by chocolate and candy as Valentine’s Day approaches. Avoid temptation and grab a bottle of Zero-Calorie Strawberry Chocolate Cascade Ice to sip on throughout the day! Experience the guilty pleasure of chocolate-covered strawberries without the guilt and savor the fact that this drink is not only calorie-free, but free of sodium, sugar and gluten as well! This delicious flavor would also be a great alternative to soda or sugary fruit drinks at a child’s school party!

As Valentine’s Day turns into Valentine’s evening, it’s now time to mix up a round of Sweetheart Spritzers to sweep your honey off their feet! All you need is Zero-Calorie Raspberry Lemonade Cascade Ice, your favorite berry-flavored vodka and raspberries!

Place four raspberries in the bottom of your favorite highball glass. Gently muddle with a spoon. Add ¾ a cup of Zero-Calorie Raspberry Lemonade Cascade Ice. Add 1 shot of your favorite berry-flavored vodka and stir gently to mix all parts together. Be sure to raise a glass and toast your special someone before enjoying!

With Super Bowl XLVI right around the corner, it’s time to start planning a get-together to celebrate the big game! Whether you’re cheering for the New York Giants or the New England Patriots (or just tuning in to watch the commercials), there’s no reason to super-size your calorie intake. Try mixing up a round of Touchdown Margaritas for your crew to enjoy while watching the game!

Grab your favorite brand of tequila, a few limes and Cascade Ice’s 10-Calorie Margarita Skinny Cocktail Mixers to get the party started. In a 16-ounce mixer cup, squeeze in the juice of two lime wedges. Keep the wedges in the cup and add 1 1/2 ounces of tequila.

Add 8 ounces of Cascade Ice 10-Calorie Margarita Skinny Cocktail Mixer. Stir it up and pour contents into your favorite margarita glass with a salted rim to enjoy a tasty, low-calorie beverage!
