Description

This vibrant pink Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca is a refreshing Mexican beverage that’s ready in just 10 minutes. Made with fresh dragon fruit, lime juice, and a touch of sugar for the perfect tropical drink.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pink or white-flesh pithayas (dragon fruit)
  • 1½ cups water
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Lime wheels for garnish
  • Ice cubes as needed for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut each dragon fruit in half lengthwise using a sharp knife
  2. Scoop out all the flesh with a spoon, leaving the skin behind
  3. Add dragon fruit flesh to your blender
  4. Pour in water, lime juice, and sugar
  5. Blend on high speed until completely smooth (about 30-45 seconds)
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes
  7. Pour agua fresca over ice and garnish with lime wheels

Notes

  • Choose ripe dragon fruit that gives slightly when pressed – it should feel like a ripe avocado
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture without seeds
  • Adjust sweetness to taste – start with less sugar and add more if needed
  • For a fun twist, freeze some agua fresca in ice cube trays to prevent dilution
  • Make it ahead and store in the fridge – just give it a good stir before serving
