Dragon Fruit Rum Cocktails

This would be great for Valentine's Day! The color is so bright, fuchsia pink that it looks totally fake, but it's all from the dragon fruit. You chop it up and infuse the rum with it (dragon fruit has almost no flavor so it's really just for the color). It's super tasty and beautiful.

Makes 4
Ingredients:
1 cup white rum
1 dragon fruit, 3/4 chopped up and 1/4 reserved for garnish
1 tbsp superfine sugar
1 tsp honey
juice of 2 limes
juice of 2 tangerines
tonic water

Directions:
Mix the rum and the chopped dragon fruit in a bowl or measuring cup and let it sit at room temperature for an hour or two. It should turn a bright fuchsia.

Strain the mix into a tall glass or bowl and chill in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
Once you've juiced the limes, mix in the sugar and honey until dissolved. Pour the juices into the rum and stir.
Shake the mix with some ice in a shaker and pour into coup glasses and top with some tonic water. Garnish with a slice of dragon fruit.

    If you want to try the best natural hangover remedy, look into Detoxicated. It’s an effective hangover supplement that has saved me from some pretty brutal mornings. I’m a lightweight drinker and I get hangovers easily. But after taking Detoxicated, I haven’t had one hangover!
