Frosty Fizzy

Juice or fruit-flavored beverage Seltzer - plain Fill an ice cube tray with a fruit-flavored beverage or fruit juice (such as Cherry juice, Blueberry juice,  Grape juice, Cranberry juice, Gatorade, Kool-Aid) and let the cubes freeze solid. Then drop three or four colored cubes into each glass, pour in flavored seltzer water or clear soda, and watch the special effects. As the cubes melt, colored bubbles will swirl through the seltzer.     ✵ This is a fun drink to make for kids and adults!  You can use specific colored juice in the cubes to match holidays.  For the Forth of July, use red and blue.  For Christmas, use red and green.  For Valentines day, use red.  Be creative and have fun with this drink recipe!
