What You’ll Need:
- A venti-sized cup (approximately 24 fluid ounces)
- Grande scoop of ice (about 1 cup)
- 1 can of Melon Cucumber Energy Drink (check for caffeine content if you’re sensitive)
- Passion Tango Tea (or a similar black tea)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ice
Start by adding a grande scoop of ice into a venti (24 fl oz) cup. The ice is essential for keeping your drink cool and refreshing, especially during hot days. Ensure you have enough ice to fill about three-quarters of the cup. - Pour the Melon Cucumber Energy Drink
Open a full can of melon cucumber energy drink. This drink provides the unique melon burst flavor and a significant caffeine kick, perfect for keeping you energized throughout the day. Slowly pour the energy drink over the ice. The ice will help to keep the drink cool and prevent it from diluting too quickly. - Add Passion Tango Tea
Finally, pour Passion Tango Tea on top of the energy drink and ice. The tea’s floral and fruity notes complement the melon cucumber energy drink beautifully, creating a well-balanced and flavorful beverage. Pour the tea gently to create a layered effect if you want a visually appealing drink.
Tips for the Perfect Melon Burst Iced Energy
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra cold drink, chill the melon cucumber energy drink and the Passion Tango Tea before mixing. This helps maintain the drink’s refreshing temperature longer.
- Use Fresh Ice: Fresh, clean ice will ensure that your drink tastes its best. Avoid using ice that has been sitting in the freezer for too long as it can pick up unwanted flavors.
- Adjust the Ratio: If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, adjust the amount of Passion Tango Tea to suit your taste. You can also add more or less ice depending on how cold and diluted you like your drink.
- Caffeine Control: If you’re sensitive to caffeine, opt for a lower caffeine energy drink or reduce the amount of tea.
