It’s almost Memorial Day weekend! It’s time for you to ‘step up’ and get yourself prepped for this holiday weekend. It’s worth taking the time because your friends will give you props for creating some insanely great cocktails and ADULT frozen popsicle treats– spiked of course!
Sparkling Ice beverages are a great mix for summer cocktails. And I am lucky to be able to share a slew of recipes as well as adult popsicles that you can easily whip up. And each recipes features Sparkling Ice beverages! This means when these “sips” are made with a lightly carbonated, zero-calorie beverage that combines sparkling water, fruit juice, vitamins, and antioxidants!
An excellent soda alternative, Sparkling Ice is slightly carbonated with B-Vitamins, Vitamin D and antioxidants. This light and refreshing beverage contains Zero Calories, Zero Carbs, is Gluten Free, and Sodium Free. Pick a flavor from the 20+ different delicious options including a line of Teas, Lemonades and 8oz Slim Cans, to enjoy in your favorite cocktails or as a refreshing snack.
