Calories: 134kcal
Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
Ingredients
Mango Dragonfruit Refresher Base:
- 1 ½ cups water
- ⅓ cup mango nectar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon dragonfruit powder
- ½ teaspoon citric acid
Dragon Drink:
- ½ cup Mango Dragonfruit Refresher Base
- ½ cup sweetened coconut milk
- Ice
- 1 tablespoon freeze-dried dragonfruit pieces
Instructions
- Add the water, mango nectar, sugar, dragonfruit powder, and citric acid to a medium saucepan and heat over low heat. Whisk continuously until the dragonfruit powder and citric acid are dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then transfer to a large jar with a lid. Once cool, make your dragon drink!
- Make the dragon drink: Add ½ cup of the mango dragonfruit refresher base, ½ cup of sweetened coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon freeze-dried dragonfruit (this will make the drink purple) to a cocktail shaker or large mason jar with ice. Secure the lid and shake until well combined.
- Strain the dragon drink into a tall glass over ice. Top with more freeze-dried dragonfruit if desired. Drink up!
Notes
This makes 2 cups of base, enough for 4 drinks. Store any leftover refresher base in the fridge for up to 1 week.
