Ingredients

Directions

Put four mint lives, lime juice and dragon fruit puree in a small bowl or tall glass and muddle it up. Add the agave syrup.

Stir the XS Muscle Multiplier into the small glass of water and mix well. Add it to the herb mixture. Top it off with the sparkling water.

Pour the concoction into a large glass of ice. Garnish with a slice of dragon fruit and a sprig of mint and enjoy!

Put ice into two festive glasses and set aside.

Combine XS and water in a cocktail shaker and stir. Add lemonade and pina colada mix. Put the lid on a shake vigorously for 5 seconds.

Pour the mocktail into each glass, garnish with pineapple and enjoy!
