Notes
Expert Tips
- Juices: I did not include white grape juice in this recipe as I didn’t feel it made much of a difference. Feel free to add a splash if desired. White cran-strawberry juice would also add a nice flavor if you want to try it.
- TAZO Passion Tea: To get a close-to-perfect copycat, I recommend using TAZO passion tea. Other brands will come close, but not exact. This tea is a blend of Hibiscus Flowers, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Licorice Root, Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Rose Hips, Lemon Grass, and Fruit Juice Extract (for Color).
- Cocktail Version: To transform this drink into a cocktail, simply add 1 oz of coconut rum to your cocktail shaker.
