Ingredients
Makes 2 servings. Ingredient quantities update with the selected batch size.
- 4 oz mango pulp (Goya frozen, blended smooth)
- 2 oz passion fruit juice
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and warm water)
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 4 oz sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Edible gold luster dust, for garnish
- Mango slice and lime wheel, for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions

- 7
Garnish & serve
Garnish with a mango slice and lime wheel on the rim.
- 8
Garnish & serve
Serve immediately while the gold is still sparkling.
Recipe Tips
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving — it keeps the drink cold longer and makes the gold shimmer more visible.
- For a batch version (serves 8), multiply all ingredients by 4 and keep refrigerated. Add sparkling water and gold dust per glass at serving time.
- Wilton Color Right Gold Luster Dust is food-safe and available on Amazon — it's the only brand I've tested that doesn't turn the drink muddy.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Combine fruit, citrus, and syrup in a chilled pitcher, then add sparkling water just before serving.
Easy swaps: Use peach nectar in place of mango nectar. Use orange juice if passion-fruit nectar is unavailable.
