Prepare a simple syrup by whisking 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar together over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Place the prepared dragon fruit in a blender and pulse until desired consistency is reached.
Add the cold water, lemon juice and simple syrup to the blender and pulse just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour over ice and enjoy!
Expert Tips:
- Adjust the color by adding more of less of the pink flesh.
- Use frozen dragonfruit if you don't have fresh on hand.
- Allow the simple syrup to cool before adding it to the rest of the recipe.
- Use the pulse option on your blender rather than the blend setting for more texture control.
