Why Use Pineapple Juice Instead of White Grape Juice?

I decided to spice things up for this mango dragonfruit lemonade recipe. Traditionally, this Starbucks copycat recipe is made with white grape juice and not pineapple juice. I’ve tried it both ways and I really love the flavor that the pineapple juice adds to this lemonade. It tastes really fresh and gives me all sorts of summer vibes.

Tips & Variations

• For this recipe, you may use fresh dragonfruit, frozen or the smoothie packets that I used. You should still blend the lemon juice and dragonfruit in the blender because you’ll get a smoother texture.
• Use fresh lemons for this mango dragonfruit lemonade recipe. Fresh lemons will definitely give you that strong lemonade flavor you’re looking for.
• Substitute the pineapple juice for white grape juice or even apple juice. Honestly, you can use any light colored juice you prefer.
• The Starbucks version of the mango dragonfruit refresher contains coffee beans. Feel free to add 1/4-1/2 tsp of green coffee bean extract to this recipe for a caffeine boost.
