12 Drinks of Christmas, Day 7! Mixing Up Holiday Sips with Sparkling Ice – With or Without Spirits!

Sparkling Ice is an interesting beverage: non-alcoholic but provides a great mix that works well with lots of spirits. You can make up a mocktail and for those who want spirits, add in a splash and you are good to go!

Now Sparkling Ice  has videos on mixing specific cocktail  for you to use or share with friends. The recipes are only within the video and they did not provide me with the ingredients, but they are available with many other recipe/videos on their youtube.com channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoj1ESIZdXtAaVrIqMVFUJA  I am featuring two videos below that are from their channel!
