Dive into Wakanda with the 'Herb of Wakanda' cocktail. This royal refreshment, born from the film's vibranium-infused heart-shaped herb, delivers a surge of power, mirroring the strength of the Black Panther.

The drink is just like the film, amazing and making it is fairly simple.

¼ cup Purple sugar for garnishing.

4 oz. Blue Curacao liqueur.

Splash of lemonade.

2-3 oz. Lemon-lime soda (this is optional)

Ice cubes.

HOW TO MAKE IT.

Start by pouring the ¼ cup of Corn syrup onto a plate. Then, pour ¼ cup of the Purple sugar onto another plate. Carefully dip the rim of the cocktail glass smoothly into the corn syrup and ensure it is just enough to coat each rim evenly. Once done, dip the glass into the purple sugar crystals and set it aside for a minute.

Using a medium-sized cocktail shaker, throw in the ice cubes, vodka, grenadine, liqueur and lemonade and shake for 10 seconds. Once it is ready, add the lemon-lime soda, but this is optional. Slowly strain into the chilled sugar-rimmed glass you had prepared earlier and enjoy!

To add some dramatic effect, you are advised to add one or two purple glow in the dark ice cubes. You can change some of the ingredients in the recipe as you deem fit. For those who are ‘light-weights’, it is recommended to use less vodka. If you are not a big fan of sugary drinks, you can add more lemonade to the refreshing cocktail to trim down the sugar.
