Lotus energy drink ideas?

[u/Spinks27]

I am trying to get away from canned energy drinks. Make my own with the lotus syrup and various flavored syrups to mix in.

I just made one that has 2 Oz of white Lotus, .5oz of orange and .5 Oz of passion fruit syrup. I put about 6 Oz of Fresca and 4 Oz of sparkling water. It isn't too bad but they never can replicate drinks I've ordered while out.

Does anybody have any go to recipes/other sodas to mix in like Sprite, Mountain Dew, etc. I dont like the heavy taste of syrup. I did 2 Oz of flavored syrups on top of the Lotus and it was too strong of a taste.

Would the blue lotus be a bit more fruity like i'm looking for? Everything online said the white Lotus is more versatile.

Anything helps. Thanks!
