Cocktail Prep
- 1
Prepare dragon fruit puree
If using fresh dragon fruit, peel and dice about 1/4 cup flesh. Place in a blender or use an immersion blender and purée until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh if you prefer a smoother texture. Measure 1 oz of puree for the cocktail.

Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add: 2 oz Patron Reposado, 0.75 oz Cointreau, 1 oz dragon fruit puree, 1 oz fresh orange juice, 1 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well-chilled. This chills and dilutes the drink to balance the fruit and spirit.

Strain and serve
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with fresh ice (rocks glass) using a cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp and small ice shards. For a slightly slushy texture, you can strain over crushed ice instead.

Garnish
Express an orange twist over the drink to release its oils and drop it into the glass. Add a thin dragon fruit slice or wedge on the rim or floated on top. Optionally, thread the dragon fruit and a small orange wheel on a cocktail pick for a more polished presentation.
