Mango Dragonfruit Refresher (Starbucks)
Starbucks Mango Dragonfruit Refresher made right at home with this DIY homemade recipe with blended dragonfruit and mango nectar.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup dragon fruit fresh or frozen, I used frozen
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup mango nectar
- ¼ cup white grape juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- freeze dried dragonfruit optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the dragonfruit, sugar and water in a high speed blender. I like to use the smoothie cup that came with my NINJA blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. This will ensure that the mixture is nice and smooth. If you don't have a high speed blender, run the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any chunks.
- Pour dragonfruit into a cup and add the mango nectar, white grape juice and lemon juice. Stir and top with ice and freeze dried dragonfruit or extra cubes of frozen dragonfruit. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to make a double, triple or even large batch!
- I found my frozen dragonfruit at Sam's Club in the frozen fruit section. Fresh dragonfruit can be found sporadically at grocery stores. Our Food Lion usually has some in stock.
- This makes a large serving (16 oz) feel free to share with a friend!
- To make it more true to the Starbucks drink, add ½ teaspoon green coffee powder. Add it at the same time as the dragonfruit, sugar and water and blend it up!
- We found that this drink was still enjoyable with less sugar (though not a true copycat). Add as much or as little sugar as you'd like.
