Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade

Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade Recipe | Cool Summer Drink

This Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade came to life on a whim after spotting leftover pineapple chunks and dragonfruit in my fridge. I felt inspired to create something bright to refresh my afternoon. When I muddled them with fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness, the result was tropical, uplifting, and perfectly balanced. Pineapple brings juicy sweetness and a gentle tang, while dragonfruit offers a whisper of berry notes and a little exotic excitement. Every sip feels like a mini getaway!

Notes

  • The colour of dragon fruit can vary, so the drink might come out pink or reddish depending on the fruit you use.
  • For extra fizz, swap half the water for sparkling water right before serving.
  • You can freeze leftovers in ice cubes for a brighter, fruitier twist on regular water.
