•   2 1/2 cups coconut water

Directions

1. Make the Dragon Fruit Purée: In a wide-mouth jar, combine 1½ cups dragon fruit (frozen works perfectly), and 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey. Blend using an immersion blender until completely smooth. Set aside.
2. Make the Coconut Top Layer: In a shaker bottle or glass, combine 2½ cups coconut water, juice of ½–1 whole lime (use whole for stronger lime flavor), ¼–½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. Shake or stir until the salt and sweetener are fully dissolved.
3. Assemble: Add about ½ cup of the dragon fruit purée to the bottom of two glasses filled with ice.
4. Slowly pour the coconut-lime mixture over the back of a spoon onto the ice to create a beautiful layered effect—the clear coconut layer will float on top of the vibrant pink dragon fruit purée.
5. Stir before drinking or serve as-is to show off the stunning pink and white layers.
6. Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy!
