Ingredients

1 large dragon fruit (about 1 ½ cups) pink or white flesh, peel removed
5 cups water
½ cup agave nectar or maple syrup or to taste, can also use simple syrup
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

Instructions

Blend together the dragon fruit with 1 cup of water until desired texture (I like to gently blend to keep some small chunks of fruit for added texture).
Transfer the dragon fruit mixture to a lemonade pitcher and add the remaining 4 cups of water, lemon juice and sweetener. Stir, taste and adjust the sweetener and/or water, if necessary.
Can be served immediately over a glass filled with iced cubes. Store in the fridge to chill and stir well before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

If you have a white flesh dragon fruit and want a pink lemonade, then you can peel the fruit removing the outer layer using a knife while keeping some of the softer bright pink layer (see video).
