Ingredients for Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Recipe.

Ingredients:

  • Dragonfruit – To make this ultimate paradise drink, you’ll need frozen dragonfruit chunks.  You can find them in the frozen fruit section at most grocery stores like Walmart or Target.
  • White Grape Juice – Using white grape juice concentrate gives hints of green apple and pear that are light and delicate in this pink drink.
  • Lemonade – You can use a lemonade that has less sugar or even substitute with water if you prefer! 
  • Cranberry-Mango Juice – If you can’t find Cran-Mango juice, you can also use pure mango juice or mango nectar for this delicious drink.
  • Ice – You’ll also need some ice cubes. 

Tools:

  • Mason Jar – To make this just like the Starbucks Refreshers, you’ll need either a drink shaker or a large mason jar to shake all of the ingredients together to make it nice and bubbly.

How to Make Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Recipe

To a large jar or cocktail shaker, add the dragonfruit chunks, juices, lemonade, and a cup of ice.  Place the lid on top and give it several good shakes.
