Prepare Your Pitcher
In a large pitcher, combine the White Lotus Energy Concentrate, lemon juice, and agave syrup. Add the vanilla extract if using. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Add Sparkling Water
Slowly pour the sparkling water into the pitcher. Stir gently to mix, taking care not to release too much carbonation.
Fill the Glasses
Fill four tall glasses halfway with ice. Add a few mint leaves and a lemon slice to each glass for extra aroma and a polished presentation.
Pour and Serve
Pour the lotus energy drink mixture over the ice. Garnish with additional herbs, berries, or edible flowers for visual flair.

Flavor Variations
Here are a few delicious twists on the classic White Lotus Energy Drink:
1. Berry Lotus Cooler
Add a handful of muddled strawberries or blueberries to the pitcher before pouring in the sparkling water. The subtle sweetness and color elevate the drink’s visual appeal and antioxidant content.
2. Coconut Lotus Refresher
Swap half the sparkling water with chilled coconut water. The result is a tropical, electrolyte-rich version that’s perfect post-workout.
3. Mint Cucumber Lotus
Add a few thin slices of cucumber and mint to the pitcher. Let it infuse for 10 minutes before serving for a spa-style cooling effect.
4. Citrus Sunrise Lotus
Use a mix of lemon, lime, and orange juice for a multi-citrus blend. This adds depth and a tangy punch that complements the floral base beautifully.
5. Frozen Lotus Slushie
Blend the entire mixture with a few cups of ice until slushy. Serve in mason jars with colorful straws for summer parties or BBQs.
