Calories: 87kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp freeze-dried dragonfruit pieces/chips optional, or use fresh red dragonfruit pieces
- 1 handful ice
- 1/4 cup white grape juice
- 1/4 cup mango juice
- 2 tbsp dragonfruit syrup
For dragon drink
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
Dragonfruit syrup
- 1/2 cup red dragonfruit pieces (fresh or frozen) I can sometimes find them frozen in tropical fruit mixes, such as the President's Choice brand; you can also use fresh dragonfruit
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp dragonfruit powder optional, used mostly for colour
Instructions
- Add fresh or frozen dragonfruit and dragonfruit powder along with sugar and water to a small saucepan over med-high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until dragonfruit has softened. Mash then strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Add freeze-dried dragonfruit pieces to the bottom of a tall glass, then add ice. Add in grape juice, mango juice and dragonfruit syrup. Stir well, then serve and enjoy!
- To make it a dragon drink, add 1/4 cup coconut milk then serve and enjoy.
Notes
Use freeze-dried or fresh dragonfruit (which can be found in the international produce section).
Add in 1/4 cup coconut milk to make a dragon drink.
Turn this refresher into a cocktail by using white wine instead of white grape juice.
If you can’t find any dragonfruit powder, add in a drop of red or purple food colouring to give your drink the same purple hue.
Store the dragonfruit syrup in a mason jar in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
