This dragonfruit ginger Brazilian lemonade is one of my favorite summer drinks I’ve ever created! And maybe the prettiest 😉

It’s creamy, refreshing, and packed with natural electrolytes that help me feel hydrated and energized.

I love making this drink when it’s hot outside and I want something fun and functional.  It also helps when I need something soothing for digestion or mild nausea in summer heat.

The combination of lime, ginger, coconut milk, and dragonfruit tastes tropical, creamy, and super refreshing.  

It honestly feels like a luxury drink you’d get an Erewhon in LA, but for a fraction of the cost.  It even looks like the drink version of their viral Hailey Bieber smoothie!

Keys to Making the BEST Brazilian Lemonade!!

1. Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest and most luxurious texture.
2. Remove most of the lime peel to avoid bitterness in the final drink.
3. Keep a small piece of peel for extra citrus aroma if desired.
4. Use maple syrup or raw honey so the drink blends smoothly and evenly.
5. Blend everything thoroughly for the creamiest consistency possible.
6. Strain if needed, especially if you do not have a high-speed blender.

Ingredients You Need for the Recipe:

Limes
Fresh ginger (sub 1/4 tsp powdered ginger) 
Frozen dragonfruit (aka pitaya)
Full-fat coconut milk
Water
Maple syrup or raw honey
Ice

I serve this in my FAVORITE glass cup, this Weck Jar, which is also great to store extra in the fridge if needed.  

If you’re making a lot of blending drinks, smoothies and ice creams, I’d highly recommend the Vitamix. This makes it easy to achieve that creamy texture, you don’t have to strain anything because it is such a super blender 🙂

Recipe Variations

Add fresh mint for an extra cooling summer twist.

Use sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy version.

Add extra ginger for a stronger digestive support drink.

Swap maple syrup for raw honey if preferred.

Swap dragonfruit for mango, strawberries of raspberries.
