Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare dragonfruit puree
Cut one small ripe dragonfruit in half and scoop the flesh into a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a small jar to remove seeds if you prefer a silkier texture. Measure 1 oz of the resulting puree for the cocktail.
- 2
Add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz dragonfruit puree, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 1.5 oz cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
- 3
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
- 4
Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or a highball glass filled with fresh ice. If you want a lighter, fizzy drink, leave 1 oz space and top with 1 oz club soda.
Garnish & Serve
- 5
Thread a thin dragonfruit slice and a lime wheel onto a cocktail pick or float them on the surface of the drink.
- 6
Serve immediately. Optionally, give the guest a small stirrer so they can combine the soda if used.
