DRAGONBERRY WARRIOR Euphoria
Ah, the Dragonberry Warrior! Sounds like the superhero of drinks, doesn’t it? It’s the kind of drink that wears a cape in my imagination. But why “warrior,” you ask? Well, it's not because it's training to save the world (although who knows, right?). It's because it bravely brings together flavors that many wouldn’t dare to. Think about it: dragonberry – the wild cousin of the strawberry – packs a bold punch. It's like the fun friend who convinces you to dance on tables or take an impromptu road trip. Now, when you pair this fearless flavor with some other mixers, you get an epic party in a glass! Because, let's face it, while our Dragonberry Warrior can stand alone, it loves good company. Ready to find out what makes this drink and its chosen companions the ultimate squad? Let’s dive in!
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 can of DRAGONBERRY WARRIOR
Juice of half a lime
2 oz white rum
Fresh dragon fruit slices for garnish
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves
Directions:
1- Start by chilling your cocktail glass to ensure your drink stays cooler for longer. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit for a minute or two. Then, discard the ice water.
2- In a cocktail shaker, add the ice cubes.
3- Pour in the white rum and the freshly squeezed juice of half a lime.
4- Gently shake until the mixture is well-chilled.
5- Pour the DRAGONBERRY WARRIOR into the shaker. Give it a gentle stir to mix with the rum and lime, being careful not to overdo it and lose the soda's fizz.
6- Strain the concoction into your chilled cocktail glass.
7- Garnish with a slice of fresh dragon fruit and a sprig of mint.
Optional: For added flair, slap the mint sprig between your palms before adding. This releases the oils, making the aroma more pronounced.
Sit back, sip, and embrace the euphoric blend of the DRAGONBERRY WARRIOR!
