This vibrant and refreshing drink is the perfect companion for a hot summer day or a colourful pick-me-up.

Ingredients:
70 g frozen dragon fruit (for that gorgeous colour!)
fresh mint fresh mint
2 tl sugar (or to taste)
1 fresh lime
ice cubes or crushed ice
sparkling water (to top up)

Instructions:
Base preparation Add the frozen dragon fruit, fresh mint and sugar to the bottom of a glass. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime.
Muddle Use a muddler or spoon to gently crush the ingredients at the bottom of the glass. This releases the mint’s aroma and helps combine the sugar with the juices.
Add freshness Add two fresh lime slices and fill the glass with ice.
Final touch: Top up with sparkling water and stir gently to bring all the beautiful colours together. Serve immediately!
Tip: For an even more intense flavour, replace the sparkling water with lemonade or tonic water. If you do, reduce the amount of added sugar.

Mix and enjoy!
