I have been a huge fan of Cascade Ice ever since my high school sold their drinks during lunch way back in the day. Then as I got older, I began to appreciate sparkling water without sugar even more. Come to find out that Cascade Ice created a new product with only 3 ingredients that had caffeine in it (I need all the energy I can get, hah), and sugar free, I was instantly intrigued and couldn't wait to try it.
These new drinks come in four flavors that are all organic: Grapefruit, Citrus Twist, Blackberry, and Pomegranate. They consist of only three ingredients: Carbonated Water, Natural Organic Flavor, and Organic Caffeine aka the #powerof3. My favorites are blackberry and citrus twist, but they're all tasty and refreshing, especially when they've been chilled in the fridge. These are great for when I am having sugar cravings, or craving soda - the fruity flavors curb the sugar cravings and the carbonation satisfies the need for the bubbles.
I also really enjoy mixing these with alcohol, mainly clears such as gin or Korean soju. They're great for a little brunch or picnic outside and is a nice way to add some flavor and bubbles to your drinks. If you want to stick to the non-alcoholic route, adding fruit to these drinks is another way to level them up. My favorite is adding berries to them, but you can really add whatever is in season! They've been nice to have during the hotter summer, Seattle days, especially after a long day of work and training. They're just what I need!
You can find the new Cascade Ice Caffeinated Sparkling Water in local stores in the PNW, such as Albertson’s, Bartell’s, QFC and Safeway with more coming soon.
