Naranjilla/lulo pulp is in the frozen section of Latin grocery stores.
The banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness — use a ripe one for best results.
For a thinner consistency, add more water. For a thicker smoothie, add more banana.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: Batch the main flavor base by country, keep carbonation separate, and label pitchers so guests can sample more than one team drink.

Easy swaps: Use a fruit or tea in the same color family when a regional ingredient is unavailable. Use lemon or lime based on what best fits the drink's flavor direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I serve several team drinks at one party?

Yes. Use smaller glasses or tasting portions so guests can try multiple countries.

How do I make colors more vivid?

Use clear ice, transparent glassware, and garnish that reinforces the team's palette.
