Ingredients

Makes 1 serving. Ingredient quantities update with the selected batch size.

  • 2 oz mango juice
  • 1 oz passion fruit juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup
  • 2 oz butterfly pea flower tea (brewed and cooled, for the teal layer)
  • Crushed ice
  • Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the glass

    Fill a hurricane glass with crushed ice.

  2. 2

    Build the drink

    Combine mango juice, passion fruit juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Pour over the crushed ice.

  3. 3

    Add the finishing touch

    Slowly pour butterfly pea tea over the back of a spoon onto the surface. It will float and create the teal top layer.

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim and a maraschino cherry on a pick.

  5. 5

    Garnish & serve

    Serve immediately with a straw.

Recipe Tips

  • Passion fruit juice adds a tropical complexity that mango alone doesn't have.
  • For a frozen version, blend the mango-passion fruit base with 1 cup of ice, then pour the butterfly pea tea on top.
  • This drink is perfect for a Miami-themed party — make a large batch of the mango base and layer the tea per glass.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: For game day, pre-batch the base in a team-color pitcher and keep any soda in a cooler. Let guests add their own garnish.

Easy swaps: Use a fruit with the same team-color effect when the named fruit is unavailable. Use plain soda water to reduce sweetness without losing the game-day look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare this before the first pitch?

Yes. Prep the base and garnishes ahead, then add ice and bubbles right before serving.

How do I preserve the team colors?

Use clear or light mixers and layer or garnish just before serving.
