Ingredients
2 cups white grape juice
1 cup mango juice
1 cup cold water
1 cup fresh or frozen dragon fruit, diced
1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 cup ice, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons freeze-dried dragon fruit pieces
Fresh mint leaves or lime slices for garnish
Instructions
Warm the fruit base: Add diced dragon fruit, mango chunks, white grape juice, and mango juice to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant and fruit softens.
Blend until smooth: Transfer warm mixture to a blender. Add honey, lime juice, and 1 cup ice. Blend for 30-45 seconds until smooth.
Strain if desired: Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher for a silky texture, or skip for a pulpier version.
Dilute and chill: Stir in 1 cup cold water. Add remaining ice and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add extra texture: Fold in freeze-dried dragon fruit for crunch, then garnish with mint or lime slices.
