Notes
Pro Tips
- For a more vibrant presentation, use ripe pink dragonfruit for its striking color and sweet flavor.
- If you want an extra frothy texture, dry shake (without ice) the ingredients first, then shake with ice.
- Chilling your coupe glass in advance will help keep the drink colder for longer.
