A Flavorful Splash of Ingredients

Fresh Blueberry Puree

Blueberries are the crown jewel of summer fruits. Bursting with flavor, these tiny berries pack a powerful punch of antioxidants and vitamins. 

🌿 JBB Fun Fact: The polyphenols in blueberries, including anthocyanins, can positively influence gut microbiota composition. They act as prebiotics, which are compounds that feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping them thrive and outcompete harmful bacteria.

Their vibrant color and sweet-tart taste make them perfect ingredients for our just better.® Blue Coconut Breeze. They add a beautiful hue to the drink and contribute to its refreshing and gut-healthy properties.

Coconut Water

Coconut water is the ultimate hydration companion. Harvested from young, green coconuts, this natural beverage is rich in electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which help keep you hydrated and energized. 

Coconut water is also low in calories and free from added sugars, making it a healthy alternative to sugary drinks. Its subtle sweetness and light coconut flavor pair perfectly with the tartness of blueberries, creating a balanced and refreshing base for our cocktail. Plus, its hydrating properties make the Blue Coconut Breeze an excellent choice for hot summer days.

White Rum

White rum adds a delightful kick to the just better.® Blue Coconut Breeze. Known for its light and crisp flavor, white rum blends seamlessly with the fruity and tropical notes of blueberry and coconut. It’s the perfect spirit for a refreshing summer cocktail, providing a smooth and subtle warmth without overpowering the other flavors. 

White rum also has a rich history and is a staple in many classic tropical drinks, adding a touch of tradition and sophistication to our cocktail recipe.
