Definition
Passion tango lemonade is a bright, tangy flavor inspired by iced hibiscus-herbal tea mixed with lemonade, with a sweet tropical passionfruit note.
Passion tango lemonade is a fruity, tangy flavor inspired by the popular coffeehouse iced drink that mixes a hibiscus-based herbal tea with lemonade, often paired with passionfruit notes. The result is ruby-pink, tart and refreshing, a summer favorite for people who want something cold that isn't coffee.
What goes into the drink
- Hibiscus: dried hibiscus flowers give a deep magenta color and a cranberry-like tartness.
- Herbal and fruit notes: blends often include lemongrass, apple and citrus peel.
- Lemonade: adds bright lemon sourness and sweetness.
- Passionfruit: a tropical fruit with fragrant, sweet-tart pulp and crunchy seeds, native to South America.
Hibiscus drinks have a long tradition of their own, such as agua de jamaica in Mexico and sorrel in the Caribbean. The lemonade version became a coffeehouse staple in the 2000s and 2010s.
The taste profile
Expect a zesty lemon opening, a floral, berry-like tartness in the middle, and a sweet tropical finish from passionfruit. It is brighter and lighter than most fruit punch flavors.
