About This Giveaway

Waterloo Sparkling is celebrating Dry January with an incredible giveaway in partnership with Ninja Kitchen. Whether you’re participating in Dry January or simply love delicious mocktails, this prize package sets you up with everything you need to create restaurant-quality frozen drinks at home.

One lucky winner will receive the complete at-home mocktail setup, transforming your kitchen into a mocktail bar. From the professional-grade Ninja SLUSHi Max to custom-etched glassware and five full cases of Waterloo Sparkling, this prize package is designed for serious mocktail enthusiasts.

The Ninja SLUSHi™ Max

The Ninja SLUSHi Max is a game-changer for anyone who loves frozen drinks. This professional-grade frozen drink maker creates perfectly textured slushies, frozen cocktails, and mocktails at the touch of a button. Unlike traditional blenders that can create icy, inconsistent textures, the SLUSHi Max uses specialized technology to achieve smooth, restaurant-quality results every time.

The machine features multiple settings for different drink types, from thick and creamy to light and icy. It’s perfect for creating classic slushies, frozen lemonades, blended fruit drinks, and sophisticated frozen mocktails. The large capacity means you can make enough for the whole family or a party, and the easy-clean design makes cleanup quick and simple.

With the Ninja SLUSHi Max, you’re not limited to pre-made mixes. Create custom frozen drinks using fresh fruit, Waterloo Sparkling, herbs, and other ingredients. Experiment with flavor combinations and develop signature mocktails that rival anything you’d find at a high-end bar or restaurant.

Custom Waterloo Glassware

The custom-etched Waterloo glassware included in this prize package isn’t available for purchase—it’s exclusive promotional merchandise that makes your mocktails feel even more special. These aren’t cheap promotional glasses; they’re quality glassware with professional etching that won’t fade or wear off.

Proper glassware elevates the drinking experience. The weight, shape, and design of a glass affect how a drink tastes and feels. These custom Waterloo glasses are designed to showcase the bubbles and clarity of sparkling water-based drinks, making every sip more enjoyable.

Beyond functionality, the custom etching makes these glasses conversation starters. When you serve mocktails to guests in branded Waterloo glassware, it shows attention to detail and creates a more memorable experience. They’re also perfect for social media photos if you like sharing your mocktail creations online.

Five Cases of Waterloo Sparkling

Perhaps the best part of this prize package is the five cases of Waterloo Sparkling in the winner’s choice of flavors. Waterloo offers a wide variety of fruit-flavored sparkling waters, each crafted to taste like the actual fruit rather than artificial flavoring.

Popular flavors include Black Cherry, Watermelon, Strawberry, Peach, Grapefruit, Lime, and many more. Each flavor is made with purified carbonated water and natural flavors—no calories, no sweeteners, no sodium. The result is crisp, refreshing sparkling water that works perfectly on its own or as a base for mocktails.

Five cases means 60 cans total (assuming standard 12-can cases), giving you plenty of Waterloo to experiment with different mocktail recipes, serve at gatherings, or simply enjoy throughout the day. That’s approximately two months’ worth of sparkling water for a typical household, or enough to supply multiple parties and events.

About Waterloo Sparkling

Waterloo Sparkling Water was founded in Austin, Texas, with a mission to create sparkling water that actually tastes like the fruit on the label. Unlike many sparkling waters that have subtle, barely-there flavors, Waterloo delivers bold, authentic fruit taste that makes you feel like you’re drinking something special.

The brand uses a unique flavor extraction process that captures the essence of real fruit. When you drink Waterloo Black Cherry, it tastes like biting into a fresh black cherry—not like artificial cherry flavoring. This commitment to authentic taste has made Waterloo a favorite among sparkling water enthusiasts and a popular choice for mocktail recipes.

Waterloo is also committed to sustainability and quality. The cans are recyclable, the water is purified to exacting standards, and the carbonation level is carefully calibrated to provide satisfying bubbles without being overpowering. It’s sparkling water done right.

Dry January and Mocktail Culture

Dry January has become a popular tradition where people abstain from alcohol for the first month of the year. What started as a public health campaign has evolved into a cultural movement, with millions of people participating annually. The benefits include better sleep, increased energy, improved skin, weight loss, and financial savings.

The rise of Dry January has coincided with the growth of mocktail culture. No longer are non-alcoholic options limited to soda or juice—today’s mocktails are sophisticated, flavorful drinks that rival their alcoholic counterparts in complexity and presentation. Restaurants and bars now feature extensive mocktail menus, and home bartenders are experimenting with creative alcohol-free recipes.

This Waterloo giveaway perfectly captures the spirit of modern Dry January. It’s not about deprivation—it’s about enjoying delicious, refreshing drinks that happen to be alcohol-free. With the right tools and ingredients, mocktails can be just as satisfying and fun as traditional cocktails.
