Mana Mocktail

Mana Mocktail
So, after a long day of battling Azeroth's numerous enemies, all you want to do is relax, right? Just find an inn, sit down, take a load off your feet, and chill with your friends. You could drink a plain draught of bitter cactus cider or some Silvermoon wine or something, but those are fairly boring. To make the time even more exciting, you could drink this special Mana Mocktail. It even refills your mana as you relax and have fun. And its pretty unusual too, with a wild hibiscus flower floating in it.

Hmmm...what about absinthe?
Feb 5, 2011. 1:59 AMJodex says:
Absinthe would make this as a cocktail, not a mocktail.

you do know that the mana potions are also an ergy drink dont you?

Do you also know that the author put barely enough caffeine in it to agitate a mouse?
Jun 27, 2010. 10:14 AMstupidstickanimations says:
um they used the whole mana potion thats 2 redbulls worth...
Dec 8, 2010. 8:04 AMTFElite says:
That doesn't mean that there's a lot of caffeine...
Dec 8, 2010. 5:31 PMstupidstickanimations says:
It just seemed odd to me to be adding more caffeine when theres already a fair amount in it

I tried mana energy and I thought it tasted like cough medicine. Does the soda do anything to help the taste?
Mar 1, 2010. 1:50 AMnightninja87 says:
wouldnt adding the gelatin first to the soda cause of the carbonation and the acid help dissolve the gelatin some

I'm a Scotch man myself, would that go well in this? :p
Jan 22, 2010. 3:12 PMWhoTookMudshark says:
If you mix anything with Scotch you are completely missing the point of Scotch!

(Although water and ice are acceptable)
Jan 23, 2010. 3:35 PMSirBrittanicvs says:
Haha, I was kidding. That would be AWFUL with scotch.

Yes it does, you ruin a perfectly wonderful single malt scotch by trying things....THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, sounds like an interesting drink.

Why the gelatin?  Just to thicken it up, or more for flavor?

I can't help thinking of Romulan beer... great job!

The hibiscus flower in this drink is commonly called roselle. It's Hibiscus sabdariffa, a tropical plant with tart, fleshy, red calyces that are used for refreshing drinks. It is not Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, or Hibiscus syriacus, the two most common for US readers. Unless you're an okra eater, yet another hibiscus.

Please don't think you can just go out in the yard to pluck some hibiscus flowers. They won't act the same, and definitely won't taste the same. Even if you have the right tropical plant, those pretty red calyces are very tart without poaching in a sugar syrup.

Pretty mocktail. The gelatin is a nice touch for both color and "legs" or body.

In Trinidad we call the roselle sorrel

The flowers make it taste kinda weird so not sure I would put them in I mean they look nice but they do alter the taste and make it somewhat worse for me
Dec 13, 2009. 3:20 PMosgeld says:
I am having difficulty imagining how the flower tastes
Dec 24, 2009. 8:00 AMpolyspace says:
It's a bit like cranberry juice.  Mexicans call the Hibiscus tea "Jamaica" (pronounced hemaika),  I like it slightly tart myself so I don't put as much sugar in it.  To make, steep a handfull (scientifically measured) of Hibiscus calyxes (found in Mexican stores) in a glass of hot water to desired strength.  It should be a burgundy colour.  Strain flowers and add sugar to taste - a bit like coolaid!  Serve hot or cold and enjoy!

I've had tea made of them, it tastes sour somewhat and has a taste of artificial berries (kinda) it's really good, try it if you have the chance!
Dec 14, 2009. 2:36 PMosgeld says:
I will if i get the chance, I am not afraid to try new foods (and only rarely am I afraid to try them for a second time)
Dec 16, 2009. 8:00 PMjoemonkey says:
XD dude i practically live by what you just said! Sushi, insects, everything, ill try it! the mocktail looks delicious too by the way!
Dec 17, 2009. 7:03 AMosgeld says:
Lol, I havent tried insects yet (well, that I am aware of) but if the opportunity presents itself why not
Dec 17, 2009. 12:19 PMSilence says:
I've heard that artificial coloring in some yogurts is made from insects :P
