Snow Day Drink Recipe

by Cascade Ice on January 20, 2012

While half of the country is already seeing spring-like temperatures, the other half is still experiencing winter weather! And if you’re lucky enough, work or school may have even been canceled because of a gusty snowstorm!

We have the perfect recipe for those snowed-in days and it all starts with Cascade Ice’s 0-Calorie Sparkling Coconut Water.

Grab a tall glass, and place four maraschino cherries at the bottom. Take a spoon and gently crush the cherries to squeeze out a bit of juice. Then, fill 1/3 of the glass with pineapple juice.

Lastly, fill the glass to the top with chilled 0-Calorie Cascade Ice Coconut Water! Stir gently to mix the flavors together, and voila! You’re got one tasty beverage. Low calorie, full of flavor and perfect for those snowy January days.
