It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for the new Friday Five 2.0. It’s a free week and a LONG weekend. Yay! I have BBQs on my mind and was recently given the opportunity to try Sparkling Ice sparkling water drinks.
Sparkling Ice wrote to me with some beverage swaps for the office. While I’m down with those, I also love the idea of making some fun summer cocktails with Sparkling Ice. This takes some of the calories out of the mix, but none of the fun. Sparkling Ice’s slogan is “Be Not Bland.”
There’s a Sparkling Ice for everyone. Sparkling ICE offers 13 varieties of flavored sparkling water, 4 sparkling ice teas and 2 sparkling lemonades all enhanced with vitamins and antioxidants.
Here are some fun summer cocktails you can make with Sparkling Ice. They can all be made sans liquor, too!
