What We Love aboutWicked
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or just plain over it, chances are you’ve got a little Elphaba energy in you. That’s why we’re channeling the iconic story of Wicked into a lineup of drinks that are as bold, refreshing, and unapologetic as the green-skinned queen herself.
These drinks aren’t just inspired by the musical’s color palette (though we’re leaning heavily into that gorgeous green and pink aesthetic); they’re also a toast to Elphaba’s resilience and the art of bouncing back. After all, whether you’re defying gravity or recovering from the holidays, everyone deserves a moment to recharge in style.
Making our Wicked Elixirs & Potions a.k.a. DRANKS
The PaNOma
Let’s start with the PaNOma (our take on a non-alcoholic crushed ice Paloma). Pink, citrusy, and packed with grapefruit goodness, this drink is all about lightening your load while looking fabulous. It’s the Glinda of the group—sparkly, sweet, but still leaves a slightly tarte taste in your mouth.
Matchya Beet Latte
Next up is the Matchya Beet Latte, a blend of earthy matcha, vibrant beet juice, and creamy plant-based milk. Think of it as Elphaba in a glass: bold, unapologetically green, and surprisingly nourishing. One sip, and you’ll feel ready to take on your own Emerald City.
Vodka Chlory Soda
For those who prefer something a little more understated but equally magical, there’s the Vodka Chlory Soda. Clean, refreshing, and a little mysterious, it’s the perfect nod to Elphaba’s complexity.
Cranberry Lime Chlory Spritzer
And for a non-alcoholic option, we’ve got the Cranberry-Lime-Chlorophyll-Spritzer, a crisp and tart refresher that’s just as captivating as its boozy counterpart.
Off to Meet the Wizard
What ties all these drinks together (besides their stunning color palette) is their sobering, restorative vibe. These aren’t just beverages; they’re an act of self-care—a way to reclaim your balance after the holiday chaos. And that’s where Elphaba’s story really resonates.
Elphaba’s journey in Wicked isn’t just about being different; it’s about finding her own power in a world that tried to diminish her. These drinks, like her story, are about taking what’s overlooked (matcha, beet juice, chlorophyll, a humble grapefruit) and turning it into something extraordinary.
Set to the soaring notes of “When I Meet the Wizard,” the video we made is a tribute to all of us who feel a little offbeat after the holidays. It’s a reminder to honor your uniqueness, nourish your body, and raise a glass to the magical power of resilience—pink and green vibes included.
So, go ahead: sip like a sorceress, embrace your inner Elphaba, and start the new year with drinks that’ll make you feel like you’re defying gravity (or at least the lingering effects of too much holiday cheer). Cheers to being wonderfully, beautifully, unapologetically you! 🧙♀️✨
