Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients
  • 1 large dragon fruit (pitaya) about 12-14oz, red-fleshed variety works best for vibrant color
  • 1 cup granulated sugar creates the syrup base and acts as a preservative
  • 1 cup water dilutes the sugar and helps extract flavor from the fruit
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and helps preserve the syrup's color and shelf life
Optional Flavor Enhancers
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract adds depth and complements the fruit's subtle sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt enhances overall flavor profile without making syrup taste salty
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup prevents crystallization if storing for several weeks

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker or mason jar
  • measuring spoons
