Notes
There are two main varieties of dragonfruit—one has pink flesh and the other has white flesh—but both have the same pink exterior. You will need the kind with the pink flesh inside to make this cocktail.
In the photos, you'll see I made a sugar rim, which you're also welcome to do! I simply dipped the rim of the glass in water and then dipped it into some granulated sugar.
