Honey Dragon Fruit Margarita Cocktail
A bright pink margarita that blends tequila blanco, triple sec, fresh lime, dragon fruit puree, and smooth honey—optionally topped with a splash of sparkling water. Sweet-tart, tropical, and party-ready.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger
- Blender (optional for frozen)
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Margarita glass
- Small plate for salt
- Bar spoon
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila blanco
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz lime juice fresh
- 1 oz dragon fruit puree fresh or frozen
- 0.5 oz honey or agave nectar
- 0.5 oz simple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
- 1 oz sparkling water optional, to top
- ice cubes
- coarse salt for the rim
- lime wedges and dragon fruit slices for garnish
Instructions
- Rim the glass: rub a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass, then dip into coarse salt.
- Shake: add tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, dragon fruit puree, honey, and (optional) simple syrup to a shaker with ice.
- Shake for about 15 seconds until very cold, then fine‑strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
- Top (optional): add a splash of sparkling water for fizz.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a dragon fruit slice and serve immediately.
- Frozen option: blend all ingredients with a cup of ice instead of shaking, then pour into the salted glass.
Notes
If honey is thick, loosen it with a teaspoon of warm water so it blends smoothly. Adjust sweetness by adding or reducing honey or simple syrup. Red dragon fruit gives the brightest color.
