The Dragon Fruit Cocktail is a refreshing summer drink with a subtle tropical fruit flavour and agave notes.

Easy to drink and refreshing, it draws inspiration from the Margarita that puts the dragon fruit syrup to use.
Dragon fruit imparts a mild tropical flavour that can be described as a combination of kiwi fruit, watermelon and strawberry. The tequila-based drink gets it vibrant colour from the syrup which is made by simmering dragon fruit flesh and its pink skin with simple syrup.
Blanco tequila can be used for a brighter drink but reposado tequila adds soft vanilla and oak notes which play well with the subtle tropical fruit flavours of the dragon fruit syrup.
