Yes, I guess I am a Trader Joe's freak, but Trader Joe's is the closest grocery store to me and it's just around the corner from my house.
Just the other day, I got a mango dragonfruit refresher from Starbucks. However, this is so expensive. I'm sure I can make my own cheaper and better version at home. So I've been looking around on copycat recipes for the past couple of weeks.
So last week I got dried dragonfruit and dried mango. This week I got some mango passionfruit juice and white grape juice.
Today I made sparkling water in my SodaStream. Then I added a bit of the mango passionfruit juice and white grape juice. I then added the dried mango bits and dried dragonfruit. Let the dried fruit sit for a while. The dried dragonfruit will eventually color the liquid
beautifully to dragonfruit color.
Best of all, it's sparkling! Starbucks doesn't even carbonate their refreshers! So this is even better than Starbucks!
Ingredients:
Sparkling water made in SodaStream
A splash of white grape juice
A splash of mango passionfruit juice
A few pieces of dried dragonfruit
A few pieces of dried mango
Mix all together. Let stand for a while. The drink will change color from mango to dragonfruit. Play around with the ratios. Next time I will have to remember to tear or crumble the dried fruit piece into smaller pieces, as I put in the mango pieces whole and they're too big.
