If you’re looking for a light and refreshing drink that feels a little special, dragon fruit agua fresca is it. I recently made a batch using white dragon fruit and it turned out so pretty. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and is the perfect way to cool off on a warm day.
Dragon fruits actually come in a few different colors. Some have white flesh with black seeds, like the one I used, while others are bright pink on the inside. The flavor is similar either way, but the color can really change how the drink looks.
If you want your agua fresca to be pink, you can just toss in a few frozen cubes of pink dragon fruit before blending. It’ll give the drink a gorgeous pop of color without changing the flavor too much. Some people even like to blend a bit of both white and pink dragon fruit together for a pretty pastel shade.
This drink is super simple to make. Just blend the dragon fruit with water, lime juice, and a little sugar. Strain it for a smoother texture, stir in more cold water, and serve over ice. That’s it. It takes just a few minutes, but it feels like something fancy.
I love how light and clean this drink tastes. The lime gives it a nice brightness and the little specks of black seeds from the fruit make it look extra fun. You can serve it with a lime wedge or even some frozen dragon fruit chunks as garnish.
Whether you use white or pink dragon fruit, this agua fresca is a beautiful, refreshing treat that’s perfect any time of day.
