With October upon us, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is on everyone’s mind. Sparkling ICE is on a mission to “Imagine a World without Breast Cancer” – and from October 1-31st Sparkling ICE will donate 1¢ per bottle of its Pink Grapefruit Sparkling ICE to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. Best of all, proceeds go directly back to the community where the product was sold. By working closely with each community, Sparkling ICE allows them to select the charity right in their region that they would most like to offer the donations to (i.e. Susan G. Komen Affiliates, Local/Regional Breast Cancer Research Foundations).

To help further the cause Sparkling ICE has created a specialty “Sip Pink for the Cure” Cocktail using its Pink Grapefruit Sparkling ICE flavor – creating the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. I am particularly excited about this week’s Cocktail of the Week because it combines some of my favorite things – pink cocktails AND fundraising that directly supports my community! Try something new this weekend and “Sip Pink for the Cure”!
