Dragon Fruit Lime cubes

Vibrant, exotic, and ready in 5 minutes

These dragon fruit lime cubes bring stunning pink color and subtle sweetness to your water, smoothies, or cocktails. The dragon fruit adds exotic appeal and antioxidants, the lime keeps it fresh and bright.

What you need

• 1 pink dragon fruit (pitaya)
• 1 lime (juice + zest)
• 1/2 cup water or coconut water
• Optional: a touch of honey

How to make it

1. Cut the dragon fruit in half and scoop out the flesh
2. Juice the lime and add zest
3. Blend dragon fruit, lime juice, zest, and water until smooth
4. Add honey if using
5. Pour into ice cube trays
6. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Why this works

No cooking, pure visual impact. The dragon fruit creates a stunning magenta color and the lime adds zing. Drop a cube into sparkling water for Instagram-worthy drinks, or add to smoothie bowls for beautiful color.

Practical tip: Use pink dragon fruit for the best color - white dragon fruit works too but won't be as vibrant. The flavor is mild and slightly sweet. These cubes are perfect for impressing guests with minimal effort.
