Ingredients
  

  • Dragon fruit pitaya powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Mango juice: ⅓ cup
  • Light canned coconut milk: ½ cup
  • Freeze-dried dragon fruit pieces: 2 to 3 tablespoons
  • Ice : 1 cup or as needed
  • Green coffee extract or iced green tea : optional small splash
  • Sweetener agave, stevia, or simple syrup : optional, to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by adding 2 teaspoons of dragon fruit powder to a liquid measuring cup. Pour in ⅓ cup of mango juice. Stir the mixture with a small whisk or spoon until the powder fully dissolves. It should turn a deep, bright pink. Make sure there are no lumps at the bottom before continuing.
  2. Fill a tall glass with ice. More ice makes the drink colder and more refreshing. It also helps slow down separation. Slowly pouring the pink dragon fruit and mango mixture over the ice will create a beautiful layered effect.
  3. Pour ½ cup of light canned coconut milk on top. The coconut milk will swirl into the drink, creating a lovely blush-pink color when stirred. Mix everything well. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of freeze-dried dragon fruit pieces on top. They add color, texture, and a nice finishing touch.
  4. If you want caffeine, add a small splash of brewed iced green tea, a pinch of matcha powder, or a few drops of green coffee extract. To sweeten it, add a drizzle of agave, a bit of simple syrup, or some more mango juice. Stir gently and enjoy right away.
