Simple Rusa Drink Recipe

This is a fruity and flavorful Mexican drink called Rusa Drink. I made this recipe without alcohol so everyone in the family can enjoy it. With summer just around the corner and us being in the final days of March, I’m planning to make plenty of refreshing drinks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

This Rusa Drink Recipe is a great drink you can have on sunny days. The drink is based on fruits like strawberries, fresh oranges (peeled and segmented), and fresh pineapple. You can also add any fruits you like, as the recipe is so versatile. Two important ingredients that add a special touch to the drink are Chamoy sauce, which adds a spicy taste (optional), and Tajín chili powder for an extra kick, honey for the sweet addition, and soda water.

If you look online, you will find many recipes for this Rusa Drink Recipe, and each one is different. Some use different fruits, some omit honey, and some add lemon juice. I’ve been creative with my recipe, and you should be too. Just keep the main ingredients and make your drinks as you want.

In my recipe, I omitted the Chamoy sauce and Tajín chili powder to ensure that my drink could be enjoyed by the entire family, especially since I have kids. I aimed to keep it light and simple, without any spicy elements. However, the classic method typically includes adding both of these ingredients.
