How to make Firecracker Ombré Drink Refresher at home -Firecracker Ombré Drink Refresher Copycat Recipe.
Equipment
- Whisk
Ingredients
- ¾ teaspoon freeze-dried dragonfruit powder
- ½ teaspoon green bean coffee
- ½ tablespoon raspberry syrup
- ¼ cup white grape juice
- ¼ cup mango juice
- ¼ cup lemonade
- ¼ cup
- Passion iced tea (with water, 1:1 ratio)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the dragonfruit powder into the grape juice until no lumps of the powder remain. Add the green coffee and mix well then set aside.
- In a glass filled halfway with ice, pour in the raspberry syrup and set aside.
- Pour into the serving glass the lemonade, and then the mango juice.
- Add into the glass the dragonfruit mix, then the ice with raspberry syrup mix.
- Top the glass with the iced Passion tea
Notes
- For the Dragonfruit mix, I used store-bought freeze-dried red dragon pitaya fruit powder.
- I used White Grape Juice that I got from Walmart some time ago. I figured since I was going to use a small amount, juice from the store would do. You can use apple juice or any other fruity juice, as long as it's not a dark-colored juice.
- I used homemade lemonade, as it is easy to make. All you need is 2 medium-sized lemons, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and ¼ cup of water. It is cheaper and healthier than store-bought lemonade.
- The green coffee I used is from green coffee bean powder. This is optional but because I had some green coffee powder, I took ½ teaspoon of brewed coffee and used it in the mix. To brew a cup of green coffee from powder, put 1 teaspoon of powder in a cup. Add hot water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then it's ready to serve.
- I used store-bought raspberry syrup. I like it as it keeps longer than the homemade one and can be used to make other beverages. Starbucks raspberry syrup is available on Amazon
- I also used store-bought mango juice because it is easily available. You can make mango juice at home, but if the season is not right the taste of mangoes from the grocery store might be more sour than sweet.
- The passion iced tea is homemade. I used Tazo iced passion tea concentrate, which I simply diluted in equal parts with water. Tazo also has passion tango tea bags that come in a pack of 20 tea bags, which you can keep in your kitchen for longer and use to make more hot or iced teas.
- As with the Starbucks Firecracker Ombré Drink Refresher, how you pour your at-home drink matters- the iced passion tea needs to be poured after the ice, otherwise, the drink will mix and although the taste will not change, it will not look as picturesque.
