Ingredients

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.
