Gorgeous dragon fruit juice muddled together with mint, vanilla and lime in a fruity sparkling dragon fruit mojito cocktail!
You don’t always hear me say this, but today i need a drink, hence the Dragon Fruit mojito recipe today.
I needed something good and exquisite so i can deal better with my technology troubles that have followed me this past week.
Was Mercury in retrograde ? Who knows, who cares, i really don’t wanna talk about it anymore, but instead muddle together some gorgeous dragon fruit juice with mint, vanilla and rum, top it with some sparkling water and give myself a mandatory time out from all things electronics.
But first I needed to document the dragon fruit mojito recipe- priorities you know!
I wish i could go on about the charm of juicing or pureeing some dragon fruit myself, but this week I barely had time to take a shower, so no kids, I did not go out picking dragon fruit for this mojito. Instead I stocked up on dragon fruit juice smoothie packs, and that is what i’ve been using. Organic, individually packaged and so convenient to mix up a mojito or lemonade or a smoothie.
I fell in love with dragon fruit not too long ago when i made us the pitaya avocado smoothie with bee pollen. I’ve been hooked ever since, plus it is so pretty, i love pretty don’t you ?!
Best thing about this dragon fruit mojito is that you can prepare the base in advance and have it ready for a crowd.
Literally you mix and muddle all the ingredients in a big jug except the sparkling water. Then when your guests arrive you just pour over ice and garnish with mint and lime. Absolute killer I tell ya ! ~ Florentina Xo’s

No way, gorgeous AND easy to serve up when friends arrive?? Yes please. These look absolutely stunning and I can just imagine the flavours now. I had no idea that you could get dragon fruit juice packs like that too! So cool. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Oh yes, such a great short cut to having to juice your own dragon fruit. Makes for a great lemonade too, but i’d rather have a mojito 😉 Happy Sunday !
The colour of this is just beautiful! I bet it is so refreshing too!
What a beautiful looking drink. We often don’t have dragon fruit here, but when we do I will have to give this a try.
So GORGEOUS! I am totally jealous of these right now. I’ll be pregnant all through Spring! Drooling over the cocktails!
Awww Congratulations ! That is so exciting ! Don’t worry , they are just as tasty as mocktails! Most days is what i have !
This mojito looks simply superb. Love the lovely colour
Thank you Krish, i hope you give it a try, dragon fruit is so tasty 🙂
