    This Dragon Fruit Lemonade is the perfect showstopper for a get-together.

    Its beautiful pink color and sweet-tart tropical flavor make it unforgettable.

    Since it can be made with fresh or frozen dragon fruit, you can have it anytime.

    If you want another refreshing drink for summer check out how to make Strawberry Limeade. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for that drink as well.

    My Blueberry Lavender Lemonade is another lemonade recipe to try.

    My Dragon Fruit Kombucha Recipe is another fun way to use dragon fruit. A lemon recipe to try is my Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats without Chia Seeds.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It's quick and easy.
    • It's made without refined sugar.
    • It has a beautiful pink color.

    What Does Dragon Fruit Taste Like?

    Dragon fruit has a mild sweet-tart flavor. It has a texture similar to kiwi.

    It doesn't have a very strong flavor, but it does add a lot of nutrients to recipes and a beautiful pink color.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients with labels.
    • Dragon fruit: You could use fresh or frozen dragon fruit. I used frozen.
    • Lemon juice: I recommend freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of store-bought. Lime juice would also work for a limeade.
    • Water
    • Maple syrup: You could also use agave syrup, simple syrup, or pureed dates.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    💭 Tips

    • Use fresh lemons; not store-bought lemon juice or concentrated lemon juice.
    • Buy more lemons than you think you'll need. For this recipe, you'll need about 2 ½ to 3 lemons.
    • To get the most juice out of lemons, roll them back and forth on your cutting board applying pressure. You can also try heating them in the microwave for 10 seconds.
    • You can use fresh or frozen dragon fruit.
    • Let the lemonade sit in the fridge before serving so the flavors can meld together.
    • Freeze some of the lemonade to make ice cubes. That way the ice doesn't dilute the lemonade. Alternatively, you can use frozen dragon fruit as ice cubes.
    • Shake before serving if not serving right away.

    🔪 Instructions

    Ingredients in a blender before blending.

    Step 1: Juice lemons. Pour all ingredients into a high-speed blender.
