Why A Dragon Fruit Drink?

Glad you asked! Let’s see:

The Mulan Affinity

Easy, it is exotic, beautiful, sweet and it’s outside does not anticipate its inside,  Just like Mulan herself!  You can also call this recipe the Mulan Dragon Fruit Drink.  I am obsessed with Dragon Fruit and Mulan,  So there is also that.  Also, Dragon Fruit feels like an underrated fruit. But it totally captivates your taste buds once you discover it. Oh, and well, when you say Dragon, I think about a certain adorable animation character and colorful beauty. Yes, I could have called this drink the Mushu Cocktail.  But, in reality, it is a nod to the Phoenix (read heritage and culture).  Plus, Mulan deserves her own drink, just like power ladies, Black Widow and The Wasp do.

What is Dragon Fruit?

But, let’s take a step back, what is a Dragon Fruit? indigenous to the Americas, this fruit is also known as a pitaya.  There is a yellow skin one and the pink one we are using for this recipe.  For both, the inside has little black seeds that are similar to sesame seeds (in looks only).  The texture is similar to a Kiwi,  And, it is a sweet fruit, though not overly sweet.  The dragon fruit is also known as a power fruit because it is low in calories and high in fiber and rich in vitamins (C, B1, B2, and B3).  Oh, and it also offers minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium.  Now, that you know all about the Dragon Fruit lets make our Sparkling drink!

Refreshing and Delicious Mulan Dragon Fruit Cocktail

You are in for a treat.  This Dragon Fruit Mimosa recipe is refreshing and perfect to enjoy year-round. It mixes the exotic Dragon fruit with flavors you know plus the fun of bubbles.  If you ask me, sweet and fun is always a good idea.

Cool mom tip: once we celebrated Chinese New Year as part of our Mulan Family Movie night.  You can totally add this drink recipe to those ideas!

About Mulan

Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known. When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.
