Ingredients
For Lemonade Base:
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4–5 lemons, strained
- ¾ cup granulated sugar or honey
- 4 cups cold filtered water
For Tropical Mix:
- 1 cup pineapple juice fresh or canned
- ½ cup dragonfruit purée pink pitaya for color
- 1 tbsp simple syrup optional, balances acidity
- Ice cubes or crushed ice
Optional Add-ins:
- Splash of coconut water for hydration or sparkle
- Chia seeds for texture
- Dash of blue raspberry syrup for color contrast
- Pineapple slices lemon wheels, or mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
Make Lemonade Base:
- In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice and sugar.
- Stir until fully dissolved.
- Add cold water and mix.
- Taste and adjust for sweetness.
Prepare Tropical Blend:
- In a blender, combine pineapple juice and dragonfruit purée.
- Pulse briefly until smooth but slightly pulpy.
- Avoid overblending — it can turn foamy.
Assemble the Drink:
- Fill glasses with crushed ice.
- Pour the pineapple-dragonfruit mix halfway
- Then slowly add lemonade on top to create a layered look.
Mix or Keep Layered:
- Stir gently for a gradient effect, or leave layered like Chick-fil-A’s version.

Notes
- Keep all ingredients cold — prevents dilution and keeps flavors crisp.
- Use fresh or cold-pressed juices for brightness and cleaner taste.
