Can I use frozen dragon fruit instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen dragon fruit works perfectly in this recipe. Just let it thaw slightly before blending to achieve a smooth puree and vibrant color.

How can I make this lemonade less sweet?

It’s easy to adjust the sweetness. Simply reduce the amount of sugar, or swap it for a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup if you prefer a lighter taste.

How long does dragon fruit lemonade last in the fridge?

When stored properly in a sealed container, it stays fresh and flavorful for up to 3 days . Just remember to stir it well before serving as natural settling may occur.

What else can I add to enhance the flavor?

For extra zest, try adding a splash of orange juice or a few fresh berries.
