    Helpful Tips for Making This Dragon Fruit Lemonade

    Scrape Down Sides of Blender 

    As you are mixing up the dragon fruit in the blender make sure to scrape down the sides. Some pieces can stick to the sides, so you want to ensure you get it all blended. 

    Sweeten To Taste 

    If you find you want your lemonade sweeter simply stir in some extra maple syrup. Or if you find it is too sweet you can add a bit more water to help dilute the sweetness. 

    Variations For Dragon Fruit Lemonade

    Sweetener

    If you do not want to use maple syrup you can sweeten the lemonade anyway you want. I do find that using a liquid sweetener is best. If you use granulated sugar it can leave a crunchy texture if it doesn't dissolve. 

    Other Fruit 

    So I used just dragonfruit for this recipe, but you could add in some fresh strawberries or even kiwi to help add an extra layer of flavor to your lemonade. 

    Dragon Fruit Lemonade FAQs

    How to store lemonade? 

    Leave out the ice, and store your lemonade in the fridge in a sealed pitcher. Then put the ice in each glass and pour the lemonade on top. Make sure to stir between pouring to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. 

    Does this recipe double well? 

    Yes, you can easily double or triple the recipe if needed. I have made a larger batch for parties and the recipe doubles well. 

    How to know if dragon fruit is ripe? 

    Dragon fruit that is ripe will be bright in color. Then grab the fruit and gently squeeze it. You want it to have some give and not be rock hard. If the fruit feels mushy or extra soft, it is overripe. 

    Can I make this an alcoholic drink? 

    Simply add in a shot of vodka or even rum to make this an alcoholic lemonade. If you want a stronger drink you can add additional alcohol to the lemonade.
