Sparkling Ice’s NEW Lemonade variety pack has the perfect addition to any summer beverage. It allows you to get creative with its variety of flavors without sacrificing taste or quality.

There’s something about sipping on fresh lemonade on a hot afternoon… It takes me back to the days of neighborhood lemonade stands. As a kid I loved passing out glasses to the neighbors and drinking most of the profits myself. Even on a slow day I’d cool off with a refreshing glass of lemonade and watch for cloud shapes in the sky. This is what inspired me to create a fun mocktail to enjoy on your patio this summer.
Sparkling Ice has 18 fizzy, fruity flavors with a splash of juice, colors, and flavors from natural sources, plus vitamins and antioxidants – and 6 of their flavors that have a little kick of caffeine. My personal favorite is the Lemonade, which is what I used to easily create this mocktail at home. I also included the recipe to make the blueberry syrup yourself, or you can easily purchase pre-made syrup at Publix, where you also can buy Sparkling Ice.

Perfect cocktail to make you feel special and included, especially if you’re the only non-drinker at a party. I think I’d prefer this over a cocktail, to be honest.
