Notes
Sweetener: The mango juice and dragon fruit both add sweetness to this lemonade recipe. I prefer to use simple syrup to sweeten it, as it doesn't alter the texture. If you choose to use sugar, honey, stevia, or even monk fruit in this recipe, you can. Just start with a little and adjust until you like it.
Caffeine: The original mango dragon fruit refresher from Starbucks does contain caffeine. This homemade version does not.
Make Ahead: I will often make a pitcher of this mango dragon fruit lemonade, keep it in the fridge, and drink it all week.
