Cascade Ice Review & Giveaway + Peach Mango Mimosa Shooters Recipe. One of the things I enjoyed most about IFBC was the opportunity to sample new food and drinks.
So when I sampled both the Coconut and Pumpkin Pie flavors of Cascade Ice Sparkling Water, I was hooked! When I find something I like, I love to share it with you. 🙂
It was the perfect opportunity to work with the kind folks at Cascade Ice, who have generously offered to sponsor a Giveaway to one lucky winner! As part of this Giveaway, the winner will receive one box (24 bottles) of assorted Cascade Ice Sparkling Water bottles!
Let me tell you about them!
Cascade Ice is naturally flavored sparking water with juice that has zero calories and zero fat. It’s also free of sodium, gluten and caffeine too!
Cascade Ice sent me 5 sample flavors to review:
- Cranberry Pomegranate
- Pink Grapefruit
- Lemonade
- Pomegranate Berry
- Peach Mango
Cranberry Pomegranate
The Cranberry Pomegranate is not only a gorgeous color, but a great flavor combination! I loved drinking this one straight up, no extra ingredients required.
Pink Grapefruit
The first thing I noticed with the Pink Grapefruit was that it had a very fruity fragrance that made my mouth water! It was almost as if I’d cut into a fresh grapefruit and took a deep breath. I tried it before mixing it into a cocktail, and it has a very refreshing flavor that would be great on a hot summer day.
The Pink Grapefruit Greyhound I made, reminded me of sitting on a beach in Jamaica sipping on a festive cocktail (and you can hardly taste the Vodka – the pink grapefruit is the star here). It was like a Cocktail Light without an overly tart grapefruit taste. I’ll definitely have the Pink Grapefruit flavor again – we loved it.
Lemonade
The Lemonade was one of our very favorite flavors. It’s lemon-y and slightly tart without being overly sweet. You could have an entire pitcher of this sitting on the porch on a hot summer day. A keeper!
Pomegranate Berry
The Pomegranate Berry was my least favorite flavor. There were two things that I noticed about it: (1) it had a powdered drink taste to it; not something you’d expect from a bottled sparkling water and (2) for my palate, it had an odd aftertaste that I didn’t care for.
Peach Mango Mimosa
Oh my gosh!!! I know I told you above that the Lemonade was my favorite. And, it was. Until I met Peach Mango. Yum, yum! So sweet, juicy and perfectly mixed peach + mango for summertime. This one is delish! After trying it, I just had to make a Mimosa out of it.
This one is so good, it makes your mouth water as you drink it! It’s like biting into a juicy peach. It’s really sweet and reminiscent of summer’s plump, juicy peaches and mangos. You know the flavor.
I loved this so much, it became a recipe and not just a review.
I call these little darlings my Peach Mango Mimosa Shooters. You get to drink your champagne and eat it too! Don’t be fooled. It’s absolutely lovely. The sugared rim adds that extra special touch and we loved this. Definitely a must try.

Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
These look yummy and refreshing! Loved all your photos! How do you get the black background so black??! Next time life calls for a mimosa, I’ll whip yours up!
Kristi says
Thanks Lindsey! The black background is due to 2 things: (1) my backdrop is a really deep black fabric called moleskin and (2) you can set the black point in Lightroom to get it even deeper black. PM me if you want to know how to do that!
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
How do you know all this?!!? At first I was just thinking when I visit we would cook and chat in your fab kitchen and now I’m thinking I need a longer trip so I can try and absorb everything you know!! I know Lightroom has so many more capabilities than I use but I haven’t had the time to watch tutorials and dig in deeper!
Kristi says
I am a learning junkie and take dozens of online learning classes every year. I’m a member of KelbyOne and they do deep dives on the various technologies (Lightroom, Photoshop, Photography, etc.) 🙂 If you come out – we will be busy for days, trust me!
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
What is this whole “if” thing?!
…or is this your subtle way of telling me you are going to visit me?!?!?
I’ll check out KelbyOne. thx 🙂
Kristi says
🙂 I’m coming over!
Danielle D says

Kristi says
Thanks Johlene! I’m so glad you stopped by, even though you aren’t eligible. I don’t like the rules either – bummer! Have a wonderful week – and if you get a chance to try the Peach Mango – do it! It’s so good!

The Peach Mango is fabulous! One of my favorite flavors. You’ll have to make the mimosa part yourself though, because the flavors are non-alcoholic :-). Good luck!

Wow, Kristi these drinks look amazing! I love to take regular flavored waters or juices and turn them into a cocktail. A Peach Mango Mimosa sounds delicious! I need to try that one ASAP!
