Growing up my friends and I would spend summers riding our bikes to the local 7-11 and stock up on Cactus Cooler soda. It is a wonderfully sweet and bubbly Orange Pineapple soda. We loved the stuff and drank it by the case. We all had orange lips and tongues and I am sure we were bouncing off the walls from all of the sugar, but we loved it and every time I see it the memories of long summer nights hanging out with my friends comes flooding back. I am all grown up now, well some might argue that one, but I am much more health conscious and as you all know a huge lover of Nuun. I made the healthier version of Cactus Cooler, here is my weekly “dress up your Nuun” recipe. The Nuun “Practice” Cooler….
