Beat the Heat with Cascade Ice!

by Cascade Ice on July 13, 2017

As the temperature outside increases, so should the amount of water you drink per day! It’s crucial to your health to drink plenty of water, especially when spending time in the hot sun. This summer, stay hydrated without sacrificing flavor. Cool down with these refreshing drink ideas using Organic Cascade Ice!

Citrus Chill

Drink up some Vitamin C while soaking in some Vitamin D! First, muddle a slice of peeled orange and 3 mint leaves in the bottom of a glass to release their natural flavors. Next, add ice and pour in Cascade Ice Organic Citrus Twist over. Garnish with mint and you’re ready for a day in the sun!

Grapefruit Ice Cubes

First, cut a grapefruit into slices small enough to fit in the cubes of your ice tray. Next, place one or two slices (depending on the depth of your tray) in the bottom of each cube, and pour Cascade Ice Organic Grapefruit over. Place the tray in the freezer for 12 to 24 hours, depending on the size of your cubes. Remember, the bigger the cube, the longer it will take to properly freeze. Once frozen, drop a few cubes in a glass of water and enjoy the refreshing grapefruit flavor!

by Cascade Ice on June 1, 2017

Summer is here, and nothing beats sitting poolside with your favorite cold, refreshing drink in hand! Check out these quick and easy-to-make poolside drinks using Cascade Ice that you can enjoy with friends all summer long!

Raspberry & Lemon Moscato Punch:

This party punch is perfect for sipping poolside with friends! First, add your favorite Moscato, Cascade Ice Black Raspberry, and vodka to taste into a pitcher. Any kind of Moscato will work, but we’ve found the less sweet the better! Next, squeeze a cup of lemon juice, a few thin slices of lemons and half a cup of raspberries into the mixture. Pour and enjoy!

Strawberry Mango Cooler:

Simply fill a glass with ice halfway full of Cascade Ice Orange Mango, then add ¼ cup of mango slices and a tablespoon of honey. Mix together, letting the mango and honey flavors perfectly blend. Next, add in thin slices of strawberry to introduce a fresh berry flavor. Garnish with mint to give it a little something extra!

Homemade Popsicles!

by Cascade Ice on May 18, 2017

Alright guys, you’re going to love this! We’ve noticed most store-bought popsicles may seem like a healthy  alternative to ice cream, but they are really loaded with sugar, so we’ve come up with a solution for you. This healthy and delicious summer treat also doubles as a fun activity for you and the kiddos!

 First step, gather your materials. Visit Walmart, Target or even look on Amazon to purchase ice pop maker molds. Gather some Cascade Ice and fresh fruit and then you’re ready to go. The beauty of making your own popsicles with Cascade Ice is that you know exactly what is going into them and there are no hidden ingredients.

Below, we’ve shared two of our favorite recipes for these fun popsicles, but you can really make any flavor combination you like!

Raspberry Lemonade Craze

Pour some Zero Calorie Cascade Ice Raspberry Lemonade into your ice pop molds. Fill about half of the mold and then place into freezer for 2 to 3 hours. Once the first portion of the pop is completely solid, pour your Zero Calorie Cascade Ice Lemonade into the next half, leaving a little room at the top. Drop a few raspberries into this portion if desired. Place the molds into the freezer once again and indulge once they are completely frozen.

Fresh-Berry Pop

Pour some Organic Mixed Berry Cascade Ice into your ice pop molds. Add some berries of your choice and be sure to leave a little room at the top! Put the ice pops into the freezer for at least 4 hours or until frozen solid and then enjoy!
