Add ice cubes to the serving glass. Pour the juice. Serve and enjoy.
Tips and Variations
Use coconut water instead of regular water. Feel free to use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar. Parsley or cilantro and a piece of ginger can be added for additional flavor. Adjust the amount of water based on how thick or thin you like the juice. Add mango, berries, or banana slices to make a thick dragon fruit smoothie.
Mix this dragon juice with sparkling water and add mint leaves to make it a refreshing summer mocktail. The juice tastes best when served fresh, but it can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. This drink tastes best when served cold, so make sure the fruit and water are cold when you start.
