Sipping on Summertime with Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts

This post was most recently updated on September 16th, 2016

I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been craving the heat of the tropics, the salty sea breeze, and exotic, fruity drinks. I’d do almost anything right now to find myself in a lounge chair, poolside, at a luxury resort. But that’s just not an option at the moment. So instead, I’m choosing to take a staycation. And I’m bringing the Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts culture and lifestyle home with me.

So of course, the first step for said staycation is to create said exotic, fruity drink. Right? Obviously.

And now, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. From now on, we’re on island time!

I recently found a recipe on the Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts website for a refreshing, fruity, and health-conscious drink that I decided to try out. So now, let’s cheers to summer staycationing with the Vitality Drinks Recipes by Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts!

This drink, called Emperor Pomegranate, is perfect for a hot summer day, it’s healthy, and it’s yummy. It’s simply green tea, revamped with the bright, fruity flavors of summer: pomegranate, passion fruit, and grapefruit. Let’s do this!

EMPEROR POMEGRANATE

What you’ll need:

• 500 ml Emperor Sencha tea (freshly brewed)
• 300 ml fresh pomegranate juice
• 200 ml fresh grapefruit juice
• 60 ml passion fruit purée

How you’ll make it:

1. Preparation: Boil water, brew tea, allow to cool completely.
2. Method: Add all the ingredients together, mix together, and chill.
3. Garnish: If possible, garnish with nata de coco.

How you’ll enjoy it:

On the rocks, in a glass. Ahhh!

What you’ll think afterward:

I may not be in the tropics, but I’m feeling good (and maybe even healthier?) after sipping on this summertime drink.
