Bora Bora
A vibrant and refreshing non-alcoholic mocktail named after the Polynesian paradise. This tropical blend combines pineapple and passion fruit juices with a tart splash of lemon and the sweetness of grenadine, creating a perfect summer cooler.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by ripe pineapple and tart passion fruit. On the palate, the drink is bright and acidic with a thick, frothy mouthfeel from the shaken fruit proteins. The finish is sharp and clean, balancing the heavy sugar from the grenadine.
