2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
Procedure:
pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional)
2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
Procedure:
Cut dragon fruit in half, lengthwise. Gently scoop out the white center fruit. Cut the white fruit in chunks. Reserve the red dragon fruit peel as a serving bowl. Add fruit in medium bowl, and drizzle with honey, then gently toss together. To serve, use the fruit peel as the bowl, add watercress leaves around the edge of peel bowl, then dragon fruit cubes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, and serve. Makes 2 servings.
White Dragon
Ingredients:1 ripe dragon fruit
1/3 cup vodka
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 to 3 tablespoons white sugar, to taste
2-3 ice cubes
1/4 cup coconut milk
garnishes: dragon fruit wedge
Procedure:
Prepare your dragon fruit by scooping out all of the flesh - see How to Prepare Dragon Fruit for Eating.
Place dragon fruit flesh in blender or food processor. Add all other ingredients and blitz 20 to 30 seconds on high speed. Taste-test for desired strength and sweetness, adding more vodka if not strong enough, or more sugar if you'd prefer it sweeter (note that the sweetness will also depend on the ripeness of your dragon fruit - the riper, the sweeter it will taste). If too sweet for your taste, add another squeeze of lime juice. If too strong for your liking, add more coconut milk. Pour out into martini glasses and garnish with a slice of dragon fruit. Makes 4 drinks.
