Ryuko, a refreshing Mojito style drink
Alcohol free summer drink
EF is clearly a winner in the creamy silky foam and winning silver medals in the 2020 UK Drinks Business Low/No awards was no mean feat for EF's green tea & pitaya. However, if you are looking to add that little extra sweetness and bite in your drinks for a backyard barbeque or a welcome drink for guests then we have a brilliant Mojito style drink. Below is the recipe and inspo by Ramon Kok @koktailmeister
3 oz @eastforged pitaya nitro green tea (gifted)
¾ oz dragonfruit simple syrup
1 oz lime juice
6-8 mint leaves
Tonic water
Gently muddle mint leaves 🍃 in the glass with the dragonfruit syrup and lime juice, add nitro tea and fill with crushed ice. 🧊 Top with tonic water and add more ice.
Ryuko, or dragon child 🐉👶 in Japanese, was born out a desire to create a refreshing Mojito style drink, without the alcohol but with a little more depth than just mint, sugar and lime.
Enter @eastforged nitro tea. 🍵 Tea is a great way to add complexity to a non-alcoholic cocktail, and this pitaya (dragon fruit) and green tea expression is a perfect fit. I don’t love green tea on its own, but here it provides a lovely base for the mint, and lime to do their thing, while the tonic water instead of soda adds another baby dragon bite. Yum.
