12 Drinks of Christmas #11: The Post New Years Day Beverages & Treats!!

It’s the day after New Years Day and now you might be wanting to kick back a little and get yourself rehydrated and relaxed. The work week starts tomorrow and you do need to prepare yourself for that. A new beverage that I got to try– and loved– (and had to fight over the can to be returned to me!) is Sparkling Ice Beverages. These sparkling beverages have anti-oxidants and vitamins (Vitamin B, Vitamin D and green tea) plus it’s zero calories, gluten free, caffeine free and sweetened with Splenda.

This tall sparkling drinks have all the fizz of champagne with sharper fruitier tastes that blend well with spirits as well as white wine, and by themselves on the rocks or right out of the can. Suggestion would be to make a punch of this and put a bottle of sparkling wine into a 6 pack of these drinks– and you can choose your flavor.
They have a bright, clear flavor and I can’t decide which one I like best.
Orange Mango,
Pomegranate Berry,
Lemon Lime,
Black Raspberry,
Kiwi Strawberry,
Pink Grapefruit.

I think the Pink Grapefruit was my fave– because it had that bright sharp citrus taste. I think the most versatile for mixing drinks are the Orange Mango and the Pomegranate Berry. That’s my take on them. If you find a great way to mix this–with a different flavor, post a comment and tell me what it is.

Availability
Sparkling ICE is available at Costco, Sam’s Club, Fred Meyer, QFC, Haggen, Top Foods, Winco, Jewel, Walgreens and online at Amazon.com and www.sparklingice.com

Looking for a tasty and not to high calorie treat for today? I am — and I found one. It’s definitely not chocolate, it’s crunchy and gives me a lot of taste variations.
Popcorn, Indiana is an amazingly tasty popcorn/kettlecorn treat. I received several diifferent flavors in different size bags from about 1 oz. snack size to a regular potato chip bag size.

This isn’t your regular bag of popcorn/kettlecorn. This is lightly sweetened and has that nice salty tang. It comes in an amazing array of flavors:

Original Kettlecorn
Aged White Cheddar
Movie Theater Popcorn
Touch of Sea Salt
Cinnamon Sugar
Sweet & Tangy BBQ
Bacon Ranch
Buffalo Cheddar
Smoked Cheddar
PLUS two “Reserve Flavors”
Wasabi,
Cocoa Kettle
(yup, chocolate kettle corn)
They sell them as individuals as well in a variety pack. (You want the variety pack!!).

I loved the White Cheddar, Movie Theater, and the Sea Salt versions. Cinnamon Sugar was not nearly as sweet as most other brands and it has some zip to the cinnamon which I really liked. I was able to share every single bag– because the flavor/taste payoff is huge on this brand.
It’s great for parties and you could/should have these at home for drop-in guests or for a crunchy sweet/salty/savory treat for yourself. Affordable and great taste treat.

Popcorn, Indiana is sold in over 50,000 retailers throughout the country, select Bed Bath & Beyond, select Costco locations, Duane Reade, Food Emporium, Stop & Shop, Wal-Mart, Wegmans, and Whole Foods or online at www.popcornindiana.com

We are celebrating the new year with the Aged White Cheddar Kettlecorn. Consider me done for the day!!
