Cocktail Ingredients
  • 2 oz Tequila Blanco 100% agave
  • 1 oz pink dragon fruit puree fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau
  • 0.5 oz agave nectar adjust to desired sweetness

Equipment

  • Rocks glass
  • Citrus juicer

Method
 

  1. Pour coarse salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge along the rim of a rocks glass, then dip the rim into the salt to coat. Fill the glass with fresh ice.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, dragon fruit puree, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside is frosty.
  4. Strain the cocktail into your prepared salt-rimmed glass over the ice.
  5. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.

Notes

To make this a mocktail, omit the tequila and orange liqueur, add a splash of orange juice, and top with sparkling water after shaking.
