I admit, I rarely drink alcohol anymore. When my daughter and son-in-law prepare cocktails, they typically make me a mocktail instead. These days you can enjoy a mocktail that tastes just like it’s alcohol-filled counterpart or even better.
Here’s a fun fact: According to Psychology Today, Vitamin C helps reduce physical and psychological stress. I don’t know about all of you, but I definitely need to relax more and de-stress my life.
Serving & Preparation Tips: When serving your favorite mocktails and cocktails, chill your glasses for at least 90 minutes before using them. If you don’t have a blender or food processor to crush up your ice…place ice into a zipper closure freezer bag and then pound it with a mallet. If you don’t want to water down your beverages by using regular ice, pour the Sparkling ICE Grapefruit into an ice cube tray and make your own flavored ice.

I think it is fun to have a Mocktail like this. It still feels like I am treating myself and relaxing by having it in a cocktail glass with a little something extra like the sparkling ice.
I also am on meds that preclude me from drinking alcohol. So this drink looks wonderful.
I don’t drink a lot either, so this is perfect for me. I love the use of grapefruit and orange juice. This would be perfect for brunch or any time of day during the summer.
Mmmmm, grapefruit–one of my favorites. I’m with you as far as preferring the mocktails to the cocktails, and this one sounds delicious, a nice refreshing but light drink.
This mocktail drink sounds delicious and I am much more likely to drink it than actual alcohol. I love most of the Sparkling Ice drinks.
