Here I am sitting around on my summer vacation… eating too many good things and not exercising nearly enough. (Though I’m trying!) But at least I’m sucking down some skinny cocktails. This is kind of a silly “non-recipe” to share, but since I’m enjoying this as a refreshing summer beverage, and making drinky drinks with it too. I thought you might like to know about it: Skinny Ice Cocktails
Have you had the Sparkling Water ICE beverages yet? They come in all kinds of flavors, and they’re available in the sparkling water section of your market. FYI, they are sweetened with Splenda.
And by the way, the ICE people don’t know who the heck I am and they didn’t ask me to write a post about their product. Lucky for them, I just kinda love it!
How to make Skinny Ice Cocktails:
You’ll need the Coconut-Pineapple flavor for this recipe. This summer is the first time I’ve spotted this flavor, and now I’m completely obsessed with it!
To turn it into a cocktail, you’ll need some RUM too. I used Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum, but I’m thinking coconut rum would be great with this flavor combo too.
Fill your tall glass with ice. Real ice.
Pour in your Sparkling Ice beverage (almost to the top).
Add a couple of glugs of spiced rum.
Garnish with mint leaves to make it all pretty, and that’s it! You’ve made skinny ice cocktails!
Enjoy! And HEY, experiment with some of the other flavors too: Pomegranate-Berry + Vodka sounds good to me. 🙂
P.S. On the Sparkling ICE website, they have some cocktail recipes too!

I do the lemon-lime with tequila! Yum yum.
I use vanilla vodka with the sparkling ice waters! Can’t wait to try it with rum! Thanks!!!
That sounds great, too!
My girlfriend and I made these the other night for our girls’ night in… and now we are both TOTALLY addicted! We made ours with coconut rum. And it’s also really good with the lemon/lime flavor too!
I just stumbled across your site and I happen to be drinking my first bottle if ICE. I’m also a WWatcher. This is fate.
I have had the pink one (grapefruit I think??) and the lemon lime and I was thinking about how great of mixers they would make….you have just solidified my thoughts, I am going to have to pick a couple up next time I am at the grocery store!
I have seen these but have not tried them..
I ma so heading to store tmrw to pick them..
Yum!!
I have seen those, but have not tried them yet. Now I am definitely going to have to pick some up!!
I love Captain Morgan’s rum – such a great summer drink.
Are you on Pinterest yet? I tried to do an @ comment when I pinned this but couldn’t find you. Anywhoo, I haven’t tried these waters yet but now I’m gonna HAVE to. Thanks!
Hi Renee- Yes, I’m on Pinterest! @RecipeGirl
We first discovered the Sparkling Ice drinks in Costco some six months ago, and have been hooked ever since. With Subscribe-and-Save on Amazon, you can get a case of your favorite flavor delivered for slightly cheaper (Costco was mixed cases). My favorite is the Pomegranate-Berry, and it was a lifesaver when I gave up Diet Coke.
