Izze is my favorite soda (and coincidentally, also the nickname of my favorite niece)! Izze is natural, pure and simple - with just the right combination of sweetness and sparkle - just like my real-life Izze!
The Izze Beverage Company was founded in Colorado in 2002 by Todd Woloson and Greg Stroh - two friends with a shared love of good food and drink. They wanted to create all natural sodas from pure and simple ingredients. They also wanted the goodness of their brand to go beyond what they put in the bottles, so they are committed to giving back to their community through their involvement in several charitable organizations.
Izze sodas come in intriguing and delicious flavors like Blackberry (I know!), Grapefruit, Clementine, Blueberry, Pomegranate, Apple, Peach, Birch, Ginger and Lime, and most recently, Guava. And yes, they make amazing cocktail mixers.
I'm usually not much of a fruity drink person, but Izze is not too sweet and its fizziness adds just the right kick to a cocktail. The Blu Sushi restaurant came up with these delightful sounding concoctions:
Tuscan Sunset
Pinot Grigio topped with Izze Clementine sparkling juice and several drops of cranberry.
DejaBlu
A blend of Pearl Blueberry vodka and Izze Pear sparkling juice.
Senor Feliz
Boca Loca rum with Izze Clementine sparkling juice and blood orange juice.
You're welcome. : )
A sparkling return to a fabulous blog.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry Izze makes the most amazingly refreshing ice cream floats, but I think your recipes might be even more satisfying.
ReplyDeleteOoh - a blueberry Izze ice cream float sounds most awesome! I don't know if that can be beat (okay maybe if we add a little rum...) : )
ReplyDeleteLike my dad, I am a complete sucker for semisweet, fruity, non-alcoholic beverages. Which means I take Izze and GUS by i.v. Like Orangina, but with more flavors!
ReplyDeleteLemon was the best but sadly, they won't make it any more :(.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back... I shall toast your return with a Tuscan sunset!
ReplyDeleteI love Orangina too!! And anything and everything Lemon - I'm so sad about the demise of the Lemon Izze. :( And thanks sissy! A Tuscan Sunset we shall share indeed! :)
