1. Not-your-average-screwdriver
Mix one part vodka to three parts Orange Mango Sparkling ICE pour over ice. Squeeze in some fresh orange juice and a little lime if you’re feeling extra fancy. This takes your basic OJ Screwdriver and makes it fizzy and super low-cal. Perfect for hot days and bikini season.

3. Berry sangria
Choose any bottle of red wine you prefer, pour half into a pitcher and add cut up strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. To this, add one cup of cranberry juice. Pour serving into a glass filled with ice and top off with Black Raspberry Sparking ICE. This refreshing take on sangria is bubbly and full of berry flavor – you’re crazy if you think can stick to one glass.
