Ingredients
For the Dragonfruit Base
- 1 dragonfruit diced
- 1 mango diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dragonfruit powder
To Assemble the Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher
- 1 cup dragonfruit base
- 1 cup lemonade
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon green coffee powder optional
- 4 tablespoons dried dragonfruit optional
Instructions
- Make the dragonfruit base by combining the diced dragonfruit, mango, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, and use a potato masher to crush up the fruit as it cooks. Add the dragonfruit powder and mix to combine.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the dragonfruit base into a mason jar and cool in the refrigerator before using.
- To assemble the dragonfruit lemonade refresher, fill a Boston shaker or cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes, and add ½ cup of the dragonfruit base, ½ cup of lemonade, ½ teaspoon of green coffee bean powder, and a few dried dragonfruit pieces. Secure the lid and shake for 20-30 seconds.
- Remove the lid and pour the entire mixture into a tall glass. Add more ice cubes if you like and garnish with more dried dragonfruit pieces. Repeat with the second cup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
