What Does Dragon Fruit Taste Like
Dragon fruit has quite the exotic look. The hot pink skin and pure white flesh is gorgeous and very unordinary. However, dragon fruit tastes very similar to fruits you already know and love.
The flavor of dragon fruit is very similar to a kiwi and a pear. It is sweet, juicy but also crisp.
Dragon Fruit Powder
Our tasty dragon fruit lemonade is made using dragon fruit powder. We have found that dragon fruit powder is often easier to find than fresh dragon fruit. You can order it online or find it in your local specialty store.
Dragon fruit powder may be in the health food aisle or with the vitamins and supplements.
Dragon fruit powder has an incredible, magenta coloring. To make dragon fruit powder, dragon fruit is sliced and dried. The whole fruit is ground into a fine powder, skin and all!
The powder gets its neon pink color thanks to that iconic pink skin!
How to Make Dragon Fruit Mango Lemonade
It is incredibly easy to make dragon fruit mango lemonade and serve all your friends some exotic drinks.

Crafting delicious drinks is incredibly easy! We strongly recommend making a massive batch of lemonade and storing it in the fridge.

Starbucks has a very popular mango dragon fruit refresher. Their recipe does not have lemonade but we think it tastes much better with lemonade added in.
If you head to a Starbucks to grab a refresher, ask your barista to replace the white grape juice with lemonade. Or, just stay at home and make our homemade dragon fruit lemonade instead!
