Equipment

Ingredients

3.5 oz dragon fruit smoothie pack
1/4 cup coconut rum
1/4 cup tequila blanco
2 tbsp simple syrup
2 tbsp lime juice 1 whole lime
1 cup ice cubes
1/4 cup white granulated sugar for the sugar rim
1 fresh dragon fruit for garnishing

Instructions

First, start by chilling the margarita glasses in the freezer if desired.
Add the frozen pitaya or dragon fruit smoothie pack, coconut rum, tequila, simple syrup, ice and lime juice to a blender. Save the squeezed lime for the sugar rim.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until well combined.
Add sugar to a plate that’s wide enough to fit the rim of your margarita glasses.
Wet the rim of each margarita glass with the remaining lime juice from the lime you squeezed earlier.
Place the rim of the margarita glass on top of the sugar, making sure to coat the entire rim.
Slice the fresh dragon fruit for garnishing if desired.
Finally, pour the frozen dragon fruit margarita into the glasses, garnish with a slice of fresh dragon fruit and enjoy!

Notes

Substitute the sugar rim for a salt rim if desired. I prefer a sweet rim for this dragon fruit cocktail, but you can substitute for salt if that’s your preference.
Use a good quality blender for this recipe. A strong blender like this onewill ensure your frozen ingredients get blended in well with the other ingredients.
If you don’t have dragon fruit smoothie packs, substitute for 1/2 cup of frozen dragon fruit pulp or dragon fruit chunks.
I used Cruzan Coconut Rum and Blanco Tequila for this recipe.
