Okay, folks, let’s talk about this dragon fruit drink with coconut milk I whipped up the other day. It’s kind of like those fancy Starbucks drinks, but way cheaper and, dare I say, tastier when you make it yourself.
The Experiment Begins
So, I saw this “Dragon Drink” thing at Starbucks. It’s basically their Mango Dragonfruit Refresher but with coconut milk instead of water. Sounds easy enough, right? I figured I’d give it a shot at home.
Gathering the Goods
First, I needed some dragon fruit. I grabbed a couple from the store – those things are pretty wild looking, aren’t they? I also picked up some mango because, you know, “Mango Dragonfruit.” And of course, a can of coconut milk. I used fresh dragon fruit and mango instead of buying a refresher base like at Starbucks. I think this is the key to making it better.

Chopping and Mashing
Next, I chopped up the dragon fruit and mango into little chunks. I tried to make them not too big and not too small, easy to blend. Then I took a spoon and mashed up some of the dragon fruit in a glass. Just enough to get some color and a bit of that seedy texture.
Mixing It Up
Then, I added some water. And I poured in the coconut milk. I didn’t really measure, just eyeballed it. I wanted a nice, creamy consistency but not too thick. After that, I put the mango and dragon fruit chunks into a blender and blended them.
The Final Touch
Once blended, I poured the mixture into a glass and added ice cubes. Finally, I put the mashed dragon fruit in.
That’s it! My homemade dragon fruit drink with coconut milk.
The Verdict
Honestly, it turned out pretty good! It was refreshing, a little sweet, and had that nice coconut flavor. Plus, it looked super pretty with the pink dragon fruit chunks. I’d say it’s a win. If you like those Starbucks drinks, give this a try. It’s easy, cheap, and you can adjust it however you like. Cheers!
