Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 4 cups lemonade
- 0.5 cup mango juice
Fruits and Garnish:
- 0.5 cup freeze-dried dragon fruit chips, crushed
Topping and Additional:
- Ice as needed
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious pitcher, combine zesty lemonade, vibrant mango juice, and finely chopped dragon fruit, thoroughly mixing the tropical components until well integrated.
- Fill serving glasses with crushed ice, creating a frosty foundation for the beverage.
- Carefully pour the fruit blend over the ice, ensuring an even distribution and leaving approximately one inch of space at the top of each glass.
- Gently stream coconut milk over the fruit mixture, allowing it to create a creamy, layered effect.
- Optional: Crown the drink with a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch, enhancing both visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Tropical Twist: Swap fresh dragon fruit for frozen to create a more slushy-like consistency and intensify the fruit’s vibrant flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream instead of coconut milk for a richer texture, and opt for dairy-free whipped topping to make the drink completely vegan-friendly.
- Spice It Up: Add a tiny pinch of chili powder or ginger for an unexpected warming kick that complements the sweet tropical notes.
- Garnish Magic: Sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes or add a small dragon fruit slice on the rim for an Instagram-worthy presentation that elevates the drink’s visual appeal.
