Scoop the flesh from the white dragon fruit and add it directly to a serving glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the fruit until it becomes smooth, juicy, and releases its natural sweetness while still retaining a little texture.

Add the honey and freshly squeezed lime juice to the muddled dragon fruit. Stir well until the honey dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth, creating a perfectly balanced blend of sweet and tangy flavours.

Pour in the grenadine or hibiscus syrup and stir gently to create a delicate blush of colour throughout the drink. If you prefer a dramatic café-style ombré effect, pour the syrup into the empty glass first before adding the dragon fruit mixture.

Fill the glass generously with ice cubes to keep the mocktail perfectly chilled while helping maintain the beautiful layered appearance.

Slowly pour chilled sparkling water over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently once or twice to combine the flavours while preserving the light fizz and vibrant colour.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a slice of lime, and a slice of white dragon fruit for a refreshing tropical finish. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and sparkling.
