Mood-Elevating Margarita Cocktail
A Functional Take on a Classic
Looking for a cocktail that lifts your mood, sharpens your focus, and keeps you feeling good long after the glass is empty? Meet the Mood-Elevating Margarita — a fresh, functional twist on the timeless classic, made with Dromme Awake.
This isn’t your average mocktail. It’s a non-alcoholic margarita designed to energize and ground you, crafted from premium functional ingredients like Ashwagandha, Lion’s Mane, Ginseng, and Schisandra Berry — all known to help balance the mind and body.
The Mood-Elevating Margarita Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Dromme Awake
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (fresh is key — it adds brightness and complexity you can’t get from bottled)
- 0.5 oz agave syrup (or simple syrup, depending on your sweetness preference)
Method:
- Add Dromme Awake, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup into a shaker.
- Fill with lots of ice — a hard shake helps emulsify the botanicals and aerate the drink for a smoother texture.
- Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice with a salted rim.
Pro Tip: Use coarse sea salt or flaky Maldon salt for your rim. Unlike table salt, these varieties enhance the flavour without overpowering it — creating balance between Dromme Awake’s earthy spice and the bright acidity of lime.
What Makes It Functional
This isn’t just a refreshing sip — it’s a ritual in a glass.
Each ingredient in Dromme Awake serves a purpose:
- Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that helps manage stress and promote calm focus.
- Lion’s Mane Mushroom – Known for supporting cognitive function and mental clarity.
- Ginseng Root Extract – Boosts energy and resilience to fatigue.
- Schisandra Berry – Enhances mood and endurance with its antioxidant properties.
- Guayusa & Green Tea Extracts – Deliver a smooth, natural lift without the crash.
Together, these botanicals create a balanced state of alert calm — perfect for daytime gatherings, pre-dinner rituals, or when you want to feel good without the alcohol.
Why We Love It
This margarita does what great drinks are meant to do — it connects people, sparks conversation, and sets the tone for intentional gatherings.
It’s zesty, complex, and slightly herbal with a gentle kick from Szechuan Pepper Extract in Dromme Awake — giving you the body and bite of a proper cocktail, minus the buzz.
