Summertime is just around the corner and it is always fun to have some great mocktail or cocktail recipes on hand. One of my favorite and lower calorie ways to make a delicious drink is by using Cascade Ice USDA Organic Sparkling Water. There are 9 flavors that make it so fun to change up your favorite drink, or whip up something new! These waters are also perfect if regular water is just not cutting it for you, these have the perfect hint of flavor with bubbles without the sweetness.
I have taken four of my favorite cocktails and created four summer cocktail recipes using Cascade Ice Organic Sparkling Waters. The substitution is easy, and the results are DELICIOUS!
Spicy Jalepeno Paloma
First up, the Spicy Jalapeño Paloma. This is one of my favorites, and I will order anytime I see it on the menu. I love the addition of the Cascade Ice Organic Grapefruit sparkling water for the extra bit of fizz.
Spicy Jalapeño Paloma

- 1.5 oz Tequila
- Splash Grapefruit Juice
- Grapefruit Wedge
- Squeeze of Lime
In a rocks glass rimmed with Tajin or chili lime seasoning, fill with ice, add homemade jalapeño simple syrup, tequila, and a splash of grapefruit juice. Fill the to the top with Cascade Ice Organic Grapefruit Sparkling Water. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and garnish with a grapefruit wedge!
Moscow Mule
I think the Moscow Mule is a favorite for many! Sometimes ginger beer is just a little too strong. By using the Cascade Ice Organic Ginger Lime Sparkling water you get that hint of ginger, but it is not overpowering!

- Candied Ginger for Garnish
In a copper mug filled with ice, add vodka and Cascade Ice Organic Ginger Lime Sparkling Water. Top off with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and garnish with candied ginger.
Black Raspberry Mojito
The Black Raspberry Mojito might be the prettiest drink on the menu! Fresh fruit, a hint of mint, and the refreshing Cascade Ice Organic Black Raspberry Sparkling Water are the perfect combination. This one makes a perfect mocktail!

Citrus Twist Margarita
Oh, the Margarita. I think we all love a great margarita, and I am partial to an “on the rocks” myself. This Citrus Twist Margarita is so good. Margaritas can tend to be too sweet, so I am a huge fan of the Cascade Ice Organic Citrus Twist Sparkling Water with just a splash of the mixer to get that flavor without the extra sweetness. It is so refreshing!
