Ingredients
Drink Base
- 2 teaspoons dragonfruit powder (pitaya powder)
- 1/2 cup mango juice blend
- 3/4 cup light coconut milk (canned or carton)
Toppings
- 2-3 tablespoons freeze dried dragon fruit
Optional
- 1/2 teaspoon green coffee extract (for caffeinated dragon drink)
Instructions
- Mix Dragonfruit Powder and Mango Juice: In a measuring cup, combine 2 teaspoons of dragonfruit powder with 1/2 cup of mango juice blend. Stir vigorously with a spoon or use a handheld frother to ensure the dragonfruit powder is completely dissolved and free of clumps, creating a smooth, vibrant mixture.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the prepared mango and dragonfruit mixture over the ice, followed by 3/4 cup of light coconut milk. Stir gently with a straw or spoon until the ingredients are well combined. Taste the drink and adjust the sweetness by adding more mango juice or pitaya powder if desired.
- Add Optional Caffeine: If you want a caffeinated version of the drink, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of green coffee extract before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the drink with 2-3 tablespoons of freeze dried dragon fruit for a crunchy texture and beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors.
Notes
- Use a handheld frother or whisk to dissolve the dragonfruit powder thoroughly for a smooth texture.
- Adjust sweetness according to personal preference by adding more mango juice or dragonfruit powder.
- The green coffee extract is optional and adds caffeine without altering the flavor significantly.
- Freeze dried dragon fruit adds an appealing crunch and visual appeal but can be omitted if unavailable.
