Ingredients You’ll Need

• Blue sports drink

HOW TO SERVE Glacier Glow Spritz

When serving Glacier Glow Spritz, add a straw for easy sipping. You can also garnish the drink with a slice of lemon or a few blueberries for a little extra flair. Serve it in a clear glass so everyone can see the lovely blue color and sparkling bubbles. This drink is best enjoyed right after it’s made to keep the fizz.

STORAGE & FREEZING: Glacier Glow Spritz

It is best to make Glacier Glow Spritz just before serving. The soda and sports drink do not store well together since carbonation will go flat. If you need to prepare it ahead of time, you can mix the blue sports drink and the silver sugar rim in advance. Keep everything covered in the refrigerator. However, it is advisable to add the club soda and ice only when you are ready to serve.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Glacier Glow Spritz is delightful on its own but can also be paired with some snacks. Here are a few ideas:

• Popcorn with a sprinkle of salt
• Cheese platter with various types of cheese
• Fresh fruit skewers, like grapes or melon
• Light appetizers like vegetable sticks and dip

These treats are simple and complement the refreshing taste of the drink.

VARIATIONS

There are many ways to change up Glacier Glow Spritz. Here are some fun ideas:

• Flavor Variation: Use different flavored sports drinks, like orange or grape, for unique flavors and colors.
• Add Fresh Fruit: Include fresh fruits such as sliced strawberries, limes, or even tropical fruits to enhance the taste.
• Non-Carbonated Version: If you prefer a non-fizzy drink, skip the club soda and add tonic water instead.
• Make it a Mocktail: For an adult version, add flavored spirits that can complement the blue sports drink.
