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!
