A vibrant and creamy tropical drink combining fresh strawberries, dragonfruit, and full-fat coconut milk for a smooth, refreshing summer beverage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 150g)
  • 1 medium dragonfruit, peeled and cubed (or 1 cup frozen cubes, about 150g)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (120ml)
  • 1 cup cold water (240ml)
  • 12 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (15-30ml), optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15ml)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (240ml)

Instructions

  1. Hull and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Peel and cube a medium dragonfruit or use 1 cup frozen cubes.
  2. Add strawberries, dragonfruit, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add the second tablespoon of sweetener if desired.
  3. Add 1 cup ice cubes to the blender and pulse to crush and mix evenly. Add more water if too thick.
  4. Optionally strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp and seeds for a smoother texture.
  5. Pour into tall glasses over extra ice cubes if desired. Garnish with a strawberry slice or dragonfruit wedge and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for best flavor. Adjust sweetener to taste. Shake canned coconut milk before use. Serve immediately for best color and texture. Frozen dragonfruit can be used to chill the drink naturally. For a lighter drink, substitute coconut milk with almond or oat milk. Straining is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
