Description
A refreshing, lightly sweet energy drink featuring plant-based lotus concentrate, sparkling water, and customizable mix-ins for natural energy without the crash.
Ingredients
2 oz pink lotus energy concentrate (any flavor like pink lemonade or cherry)
8–10 oz sparkling or still water
1 cup ice cubes
(Optional) 1–2 tbsp coconut milk or fruit syrup (like peach, watermelon, or vanilla)
(Optional) Squeeze of lemon or lime juice
(Optional) Fresh fruit or mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Fill a tall glass with ice. Make it full—this drink is best super cold.
2. Pour 2 oz of pink lotus concentrate over the ice.
3. Add 8–10 oz of sparkling or still water, depending on your preference.
4. Stir gently with a straw or spoon to combine.
5. Taste and adjust: add fruit syrup for more sweetness or a splash of coconut milk for creaminess.
6. Garnish with lemon wedges, mint, or fresh fruit for a visual and flavorful boost.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the clean, botanical energy boost.
Notes
Start with less concentrate if you’re new to lotus drinks—1.5 oz can be a good entry point.
For a lighter version, use stevia-sweetened syrups or fresh fruit instead of sugar-based syrups.
Avoid blending to maintain clarity and fizz.
