FAQs
What does Dragonberry Rum taste like?
Dragon fruit has a sweet flavor that’s often compared to a cross between pear and kiwi.
Bacardi’s Dragonberry Rum combines these flavors with the classic and familiar taste of strawberries for a distinctly sweet and refreshing blend that’s great for cocktails.
When is dragon fruit in season?
Typically, summer time is the peak season for dragon fruit, with the months of August and September being the ideal period for fresh dragon fruit.
There are also some varieties that produce fruit in the winter, from November through February, but you’ll probably want to aim for the summer months.
Can you eat raw Dragonfruit?
Yes! Eaten raw, dragon fruit has a texture somewhat similar to kiwis. Like an avocado, you’ll want to avoid eating the skin and focus instead on the white flesh inside. Dragon fruit is also delicious when thrown on the grill.
With a slice of dragon fruit and the little boost from the dragon fruit water enhancer, this drink is exciting and a crowd pleaser!
Popular Variations and Substitutions
- For some extra citrus flavor, squeeze in a bit of fresh lemon or lime juice.
- Instead of seltzer water, you can use a flavored sparkling water or even soda like lemon lime soda or ginger ale for a sweeter cocktail.
- Chop up some strawberries and stir them into your cocktail for more of the berry flavor.
- To make this drink more like a Bacardi Dragonberry Mojito, use some lime simple syrup and muddle strawberries with the mint in the bottom of your glass before you add the rest of the ingredients.
