Dragon fruit’s exterior won’t win any beauty contests, but the fruit’s interior is stunning and serves as the main component of my dragon fruit cake. The magenta flesh has a few small black seeds throughout. Some cultivars feature seeds that are black with white flesh. It has a lovely texture and isn’t overly sweet. The pitaya, often known as dragon fruit, is a type of cactus. I made a purée out of the juice and incorporated it into the cake batter. I then made cake icing out of more of it.

Reviews
As my wife is from Dublin we use Irish whiskey and Irish Mist. A subtle difference in taste but still sweet and strong!
increased the Drambuie to one oz, so it’s a 1/2 with scotch being two oz. to be correct, I’ve probably made this cocktail thousands of times over these many years. I’m 78.
I’ve had a few of these in my day and paid the price the next morning.
This is a perfect cocktail! Dom’t mess cocktails with slurpy or syrupy ingredients. Either you like the taste of liquor or you don’t. The rest is unneeded extra calories.
