Mango Dragon Fruit Layered Slush
4.6(941 ratings)Pink pitaya, also called dragon fruit, has a mild, kiwi-like flavour and a colour so vivid it barely looks natural. Paired with sunny mango slush, the layers look like a tropical sunset in a glass. Both mixtures are blended thick so they sit neatly on top of one another rather than mingling right away.

Step 1: Blend the frozen mango with half the coconut water, 1 tablespoon lime juice and the nectar until thick and slushy. Pour into a jug and chill.

Step 2: Rinse the blender, then blend the dragon fruit with the remaining coconut water, lime juice and ice until thick and deep magenta.
-
Step 3: Spoon the mango slush into the bottom of two tall glasses, then carefully spoon the dragon fruit slush over the top.
-
Step 4: Add a few more spoonfuls of mango to create a third stripe if you like, then serve right away with spoons and straws.
