About a year ago, @RBWells@lemmy.world posted a link to some cocktails with Asian flavors. I had some friends over for mapo tofu tonight and tried this smoky, fruity one. It was really nice! I couldn’t find dragon fruit juice, just a purée, so it was a little close to a smoothie… but still tasty. And goofy photogenic.

- ½ oz Baiju
- 1 oz John. D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum liqueur
- ½ oz coconut milk
- 2 oz dragon fruit juice
- toasted coconut
Shake with ice. Garnish with the toasted coconut.

Looks very cool!
Never seen dragon fruit juice for sale, but dragonfruit itself is at a lot of supermarkets in Canada, so could always make my own juice. Mostly been using it for smoothies though, not cocktails. Might be a good idea :D

That color is intense! Was it from the dragon fruit? I’ve know the exterior to be that color, but I’ve only had the center bits. Sounds like a tasty one w those ratios

Yeah, 100% the dragon fruit! I was shocked at the color; it’s a super deep purple with these small black seeds, and in the puréed form in which I got it, it was super goopy and thick.

I’ve only gotten white dragonfruit before.
