A sacred drink, reimagined
Long before modern cocktails, the ancient Egyptians had their own botanical mixology: Blue Lotus flowers steeped in wine for celebrations and ceremony.
This sparkling mocktail is our modern nod to that tradition, made with Euphoria Infused Essence: Blue Lotus and Blue Butterfly Pea in a triple-distilled wine extract. Pretty, floral and made for slow evenings, gatherings, or any moment that deserves a beautiful glass.
Recipe: Blue Lotus Botanical Mocktail
Ingredients (serves 1 to 2)
- 10 to 20 drops of Euphoria Infused Essence, or 1/2 cup of cooled Euphoria Blend tea
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- Juice of 1/2 lemon or orange
- 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 tsp rose water, or a splash of hibiscus tea (optional)
- Sparkling water, to top
- Ice
- To garnish: fresh mint, edible flowers or citrus slices
Method
- Mix the base: in a glass, combine the essence (or tea), citrus juice, coconut water and honey. Stir well.
- Add ice and bubbles: fill with ice and top with sparkling water.
- Add the florals: a dash of rose water or hibiscus deepens the colour and scent.
- Garnish and serve: mint, berries, citrus or edible flowers.
- Sip slowly: take a breath and set an intention.
Our Infused Essence is made with triple-distilled spirit of wine, so it contains alcohol (60%). A few drops in a full glass leaves only a trace, but if you avoid alcohol completely, use a cup of cooled Euphoria Blend tea instead.
Why you'll love it
- Inspired by the Egyptian tradition of infusing Blue Lotus in wine
- No brewing needed when you use the essence: a few drops and it's ready
- Made from things already in your kitchen
- Easy to adjust: sweeter, more citrus, more floral
FAQs
Can I make it without sparkling water?
Yes. Use still water, herbal tea or more coconut water.
Is it alcohol free?
Made with tea, yes. Made with the essence, it contains a trace of alcohol, because the essence is 60% alcohol.
Can I make a big jug for guests?
Yes. Mix the base in a jug, then add ice and sparkling water just before serving so it stays bubbly.
Blue Lotus is for adults. We recommend avoiding it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and checking with your healthcare provider first if you have a medical condition or take any medication.
