FAQs
What does dragon fruit taste like?
The taste of ripe dragon fruit is often compared to a cross between pear and kiwi, with the texture being more similar to that of ripe kiwi. When it’s not ripe, it’s nearly flavorless.
With its signature pink and yellow skin, this fruit actually comes from a type of cactus that grows in Mexico and Central and South America.
What does dragon fruit taste good with?
Because dragon fruit itself is fairly mild and subtle in flavor, it can really benefit from being paired with another fruit with more natural sweetness.
Try it with mango, pineapple, banana, blueberries, and strawberries, but feel to experiment with other fruits as well.
What is a good mixer for Dragonberry Rum?
This sweet and fruity rum flavor goes great with something simple like tonic water or club soda. A flavored sparkling water can also bring in some additional flavors that will enhance the rum.
For sweeter options, try lemon-lime soda, lemonade, iced tea, or ginger ale.
Some fruit juice and a splash of sparkling wine would also make for a refreshing and fizzy dragon fruit cocktail!
