Ready For Cinco de Mayo with Cascade Ice

Cinco de Mayo is fast approaching and what better way to celebrate than with a few festive drinks? But wait! Did you know that one regular Margarita is over 600 calories per serving? Using Cascade Ice, we can knock that down to just around 55.

Below are a few festive drink recipes I recommend mixing up for Cinco de Mayo. Low-cal, but full of flavor!

Kiwi-Strawberry Margarita

You can’t pass up a margarita, especially when it’s low-cal! Make this drink by slicing up about 10 strawberries and 3 kiwis. Put the fruit into a blender with ½ cup of lime juice, 6 oz of tequila, 4 oz of Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Kiwi Strawberry Sparkling Water and a handful of ice cubes. Blend together until smooth.  Pour into a glass rimmed with sugar and add a slice of kiwi or a strawberry to garnish.

Skinny Daquiri

Not a fan of tequila? No problem! Try a delicious Skinny Daiquiri. To create this sweet treat, add 1 1/2 cups of ice and 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries into your blender. Pour in 8oz Cascade Ice Zero-Calorie Wild Berry Sparking Water and your choice of rum. Blend until smooth. Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with fresh fruit.
