Shhhh! My Cyndi's Secrets!

My Dear Friends,

The My Cyndi’s Secrets healthy lifestyle does not endorse over indulging in alcohol. However, if you are home tonight watching the EMMY AWARDS you might enjoy today’s “Low Cal” cocktail options. Just remember that moderation is the key and please drink responsibly. Do NOT drink and drive.

Psssssst! Come with me!

With the EMMY AWARDS tonight, you may be considering a cocktail. If so, choose a “low-calorie” option. The recipes below feature Sparkling ICE (www.sparklingice.com), a naturally flavored sparkling water that is zero calories, gluten-free and lightly carbonated…and a delicious addition to any mixed drink. Sparkling ICE contains B-Vitamins and Vitamin D, along with a caffeine-free Green Tea Extract, which contains healthy antioxidants. Hey – I say drink it on its own minus the alcohol for an even healthier option. Sparkling Ice is trending now as one of the fastest growing water brands on the market. You heard it here! Shhhh!

Below are cocktails inspired by the Emmy Awards compliments of Sparkling ICE.
