DRAGON FRUIT HOLIDAY COCKTAIL
DRAGON FRUIT HOLIDAY COCKTAIL
I’ve always been attracted to the color and odd shape of dragon fruit. The gorgeous hues of vibrant pink and red makes this one of the most beautiful fruits. It’s similar in texture to a kiwi, but has a mild sweetness and taste. It’s rich in vitamin C, B and contains a good amount of fiber… and who doesn’t want to add a little boost of vitamins to their cocktail, especially around the holidays?! I mixed this unique fruit with rum, lime, ginger beer, and a little agave to sweeten. The results were delicious. Muddled fresh and lightly sweetened… the secrets to making a good cocktail.
