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
- 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.

💭 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.
