Talking Rain Beverage Co®, makers of Sparkling Ice

We’re teaming up with Casey's and getting “caffeinated for a cause” with Sparkling Ice Caffeine in support of our national partner, K9s For Warriors! Together, we’re sponsoring the training of a PTSD service dog – and thanks to Casey’s team members at their annual conference, he has a name: Knox. Throughout the partnership, we’re raising awareness about the importance of service dogs for those living with PTSD and other invisible wounds. Casey’s team members will even have a chance to meet Knox during his visit to Casey’s Store Support Center in Ankeny, Iowa, this fall! Fans can head to Casey’s stores to sip on the newest Sparkling Ice Caffeine flavors – Cherry Cola and Root Beer – while supporting a meaningful mission. In May and June, Casey’s Rewards is offering a 2 for $3 deal on Sparkling Ice 16oz can products. Swing by a Casey’s, grab a Sparkling Ice, and make a toast to Knox in support of our veteran community. Learn more about the partnership at the link in the comments.

We’re proud to celebrate Veronica Blankenship, our Chief People and Communications Officer, for being named a Class of 2026 Top Women in HR honoree by Ragan Communications and PR Daily in the Employee Engagement Leadership category. This recognition reflects Veronica's impact in shaping our culture and creating a workplace where Rain Makers feel truly connected to their teams and the broader community. Congratulations Veronica!

The pack has grown! We’re excited to announce our co-branded Sparkling Ice packs in partnership with K9s For Warriors are back for a LTO, this year expanding from six bottles to 12. As May marks the observance of Military Appreciation Month, we’re proud to further our commitment to supporting K9s For Warriors, the nation's leading provider of service dogs to military veterans struggling with PTSD and other invisible wounds at no financial cost to the Veteran. Now through the end of the summer, our Sparkling Ice Blue, Pink, and Purple Variety 12-Packs will feature a “Proud Partners of K9s For Warriors” logo, available in national retail stores and on Amazon. In-store displays feature the return of Rocky, a rescue dog-turned service dog, who was trained by K9s For Warriors and paired last year with his “Battle Buddy.” We’re honored to continue growing our pawtnership – and the “pack” by Saving Veterans, Rescuing Dogs, and Restoring Families, together. #SparklingIce #K9sForWarriors #GrowingThePack #ServiceDogs

At Talking Rain, sparking joy means investing in the people and communities around us. In honor of Women’s History Month, our Women in the Rain resource group was proud to host a panel with Girls on the Run International, featuring inspiring voices from their team and our own Rain Makers. The conversation highlighted the power of confidence, mentorship, and community in helping girls grow into strong, empowered leaders. We’re grateful to partner with Girls on the Run and support their mission to help every girl recognize her limitless potential.

Step right up to the counter… the Soda Shoppe is open for business!    We took a blast from the past with our very own vintage soda shoppe to celebrate our new nostalgic Sparkling Ice® Caffeine Soda Shoppe Collection: Orange Cream, Root Beer and Cherry Cola. Rain Makers pulled up a stool, sampled the lineup, and debated the most important question of all - to float or not to float? (Who can resist adding a scoop of ice cream?)   With a Perfectly Caffeinated® lineup, it was tough to pick a favorite—however one thing’s for sure: the Soda Shoppe is a real sparkler!    Big thanks to all the Rain Makers who brought this collection from recipe to shelf… or in this case, the soda counter! #SparklingIceCaffeine

Now Serving: Pancakes ✔️ Smiles ✔️ A triple stack of appreciation ✔️   In celebration of Employee Appreciation Day, our leadership team traded in laptops for spatulas and whipped up brunch to celebrate the incredible people who make our success possible every single day. From flipping pancakes to pouring Sparkling Ice Caffeine, it was a small way for us to say a big thank you to the team that truly makes it rain.   Special shoutout to our team behind-the-scenes that really put the extra flip into serving up the fun (and the pancakes). Thank you Madisyn Smith, Danielle C. and Morgan Bedry - safe to say the energy was as high as the stack on the griddle!   To all Rain Makers: thank you for the dedication, creativity, and heart you bring every day. We appreciate you today and every day.   #EmployeeAppreciationDay  

We've just popped the top on our Sparkling Ice Caffeine Soda Shoppe collection, serving up fizz, fun, and a retro good time!

Perfectly Caffeinated™ and with zero sugar, these throwback refreshments bring back the charm of classic fountain drinks with a modern twist. The beverages include vitamins, antioxidants, naturally sourced colors and flavors, and 70mg of caffeine for just the right amount of lift – offering a healthier alternative to traditional sodas without compromising the taste consumers know and love. Slide on up and grab a stool – the Soda Shoppe is open! #SparklingIceCaffeine #BeverageIndustry #SodaShoppe
