Margaritas just scream sunshine and warm weather. There is something about the flavor combinations that make you feel as if you’re on vacation on a beach somewhere. As temperatures heat up across the country, many of us will be looking for a cool beverage to enjoy! This recipe is a different twist on the classic, using Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water in our Ginger Lime flavor for a quick, easy and low-calorie way to kick back and enjoy the warmer temperatures. Check out our simple, yet healthy recipe below and remember to share photos!

1 oz. orange liqueur or St Germain
1 oz. lime juice
½ oz. ginger juice
5 oz. Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water in Ginger Lime
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and combine all the ingredients except for the Cascade Ice, and shake vigorously. Strain the contents into a large glass filled with more ice, top with Cascade Ice, and garnish with a lime wedge or jalapeno for extra spice. Enjoy!

It’s Mardi Gras time again, and you know what that means. It’s time to party with your crew in the name of beads, confetti, masks, and of course – cocktails! But if you’re like most of us and you can’t make it to New Orleans for the big celebration this year (oh how we wish we could have a powdered-sugar covered beignet while walking the french quarter), then throw a small get-together or simply make this special cocktail for yourself!
Like all of our recipes, this a low-calorie and low-sugar option that won’t derail your healthy lifestyle. Gather your ingredients and whip up this unique cocktail (or mocktail if you choose) to “laissez bon temps rouler” just like the Mardi Gras revelers do!
In a large glass, muddle the pineapple at the bottom. Add ice, and fill with Cascade Ice, vodka and lime juice; stir. Garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
