We recently wrote about five [**foodie finds**](https://belizeislandparadise.com/island-blog/entry/5-foods-you-must-try-when-visiting-belize) that you can't go without on your next trip to Belize! Well, what Caribbean vacation is complete without some tropical refreshments to pair with your fare?
Whether you want a cocktail or a cool virgin drink, we can make these absolutely delicious either way, and now you have the recipe for sweet success in drink making too!
Let's start with our *Dragon Fruit Mojito*… [**Dragon Fruit**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya) is also known has "Pitaya". The fruit grows on a large cactus and is absolutely gorgeous in color and delicious in flavor. The flavor is juicy and sweet- similar to a honeydew melon, and the fruit can be pink or white. In Belize, we often see the stunning pink color! This fruit is not only tasty, it is also very it is high in fiber as well as various vitamins and minerals including [**manganese**](https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/minerals/health-benefits-of-manganese.html) and iron
Dragon fruit can be found year-round, but season peaks in summer and lasts into early fall. It's unique skin, shape, and color make it easy to spot in the produce section of your local grocery store!
**Dragon Fruit Mojito**

Muddle to bruise mint leaves and break apart fruit.
Add rum and triple sec and shake with the rest of the ingredients.
