Pink Grapefruit Lemonade
For a unique and crowd pleasing lemonade, whip up the Pink Grapefruit Lemonade. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour 8oz of Pink Grapefruit Cascade Ice over the ice. Take a small fresh lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the lemon juice from one ½ lemon into your glass and make sure to strain the lemon seeds. Add a couple slices of fresh lemon to compete the drink.
Watermelon Slushie
Watermelon is oh-so-delicious, and ripe for the pickin’ in the fall. In a blender, combine a few handfuls of ice, several seedless watermelon chunks and 8oz Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Blueberry Watermelon.Then, pour in 6oz of club soda. Blend to desired consistency and enjoy!
Apple Cinnamon Sparkler
This one’s for the kids! Instead of serving soda for dinner, try our Apple Cinnamon Sparkler. Simply mix 4oz of Cascade Ice McIntosh Apple and 2oz of apple juice in a glass with ice. Garnish with a green apple wedge and a cinnamon stick to complete the yummy drink.
Pumpkin Pie Float
For a crowd-pleasing dessert the whole family will love, try the Pumpkin Pie Float. Pour 6oz of Pumpkin Pie Cascade Ice into a tall glass filling it up halfway and add one scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish the float by crumbling a graham cracker and adding a dollop of whipped cream.
Candy Cane-tini
Mix up a Candy Cane-tini to enjoy while serving appetizers during the holidays. To mix, use 3oz of Cascade Ice Cranberry Pomegranate, 2oz of vodka and the juice of a lime. Stir the contents in your shaker with a handful of ice and garnish with a skewer of cranberries or candy cane crumbs.

It’s football season once again! Nothing is more fun than tailgating and watching your favorite team play (and hopefully win). It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget about your health. We have pulled together our best tips for staying healthy during football season.
Changing Weather
There is definitely a chill in the air, and most of us are celebrating the cooler weather. The best way to avoid getting sick is to stay warm and dry. Be sure to pack blankets, sweatshirts and hats in your tailgating bag. Always check the weather before you leave, because if it is supposed to rain be sure to pack a poncho!
Dining Choices
It’s pretty hard to resist the slew of choices you have during a tailgate. Ribs, barbecue and drinks galore! It’s okay to have one day a week that you can eat whatever you want, so use this as your day. Try to limit the amount of alcohol you consume, it’s packed with empty calories!
Remember to stay hydrated, pack your cooler with Cascade Ice Ultra Pure Water & 2-calorie Water. It’s a healthy alternative to all those sodas! You can even take some mixers to make low calorie cocktails (you can check out our recipes here).
What steps have you taken to stay healthy during football season?
