Superfruits like açaí and pomegranate have made their way into everything from cosmetics to jelly-beans – and now there are fun ways to enjoy them in refreshing cocktails.
In case you haven’t heard, açaí is a Brazilian fruit that contains 57 percent more antioxidants than pomegranates or blueberries, and 30 times more heart-healthy anthocyanins than red wine. The 60 proof liqueur made with açaí mixes like vodka, but has a smoother finish.
