Energize & Hydrate with This Blue Collar Cocktail that Combines Energy Drinks, Electrolytes & Fruit

You may have heard of the viral TikTok drink, the Blue Collar Cocktail that’s been all over social media. This non-alcoholic drink combines an energy drink with electrolytes and Tajín. All summer long, construction workers and other tradesmen mixed it up on their truck tailgates and at their job sites to quench their thirst and energize quickly.

Soon after the trend began, non-blue-collar workers looking for a thirst-quenching pick-me-up began to whip up their own version of the cocktail.

As someone who’s always on the go in the Florida heat, I decided to jump on this trend and make my own version of the Blue Collar Drink since I happened to have everything I needed at home. I used an Ultima packet which is one of my favorite electrolyte brands and an energy drink from Mocean that was sent over for me to try. I also happened to have some fresh watermelon in the fridge and thought this would be a great addition to the drink since tajin, chamoy and fruit go well together. Plus, it really completed the whole TexMex vibe of the drink that’s reminescent of my childhood going to South Texas and also some restaurants in Austin.

The result? A tangy, spicy, salty, sweet, refreshing drink that feels like a treat and helps me refuel and replenish even on the hottest Florida days! Check out my TexMexy version below.
