To make them a bit more festive, I added some butterfly pea flower to one and grenadine to the other to give them a fun ombre effect. We buy this Butterfly pea flower. If you also want to pick up a delicious grenadine, I recommend this one.
Ingredients and Substitutions
This cocktail only has three main ingredients, though I highly recommend the butterfly pea flower to get the fun color!
- Bacardi Dragonberry is of course your main ingredient. It can be purchased at any alcohol or liquor store, but we’ve also been able to pick it up at our local grocery so check at yours. If you cannot find it, any berry flavored rum will work well or the only time we haven’t been able to find it, we substituted with Bacardi Banana. A different flavor but it definitely worked!
- strawberry juice – Admittedly we were able to locate a strawberry passion fruit juice when I developed the recipe, but since then, it’s gotten much harder to find the combination. So we just purchase a bottle of strawberry juice but to get the dark color you can really use any berry juice. I would even bet cranberry juice would be incredible here too.
- passion fruit juice – We live in the midwest and I don’t know why but we have NO problem finding passion fruit juice here. We typically settle on Goya brand. Luckily Amazon has it for CHEAP! Goya Passion Fruit. If you just can’t get the passion fruit, another winner is mango juice!
