Start by peeling the ripe dragonfruit and chopping it into small pieces, about one-inch cubes. Place the chopped dragonfruit into a blender, ensuring you have about 2 cups.

Add about 2 cups of cold water to the blender with the dragonfruit pieces. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until completely smooth.

In a large pitcher, squeeze the juice from approximately 6 to 8 fresh lemons until you have about 2 cups of lemon juice. Add half a cup of sugar or honey, and stir until fully dissolved.

Slowly pour the smooth dragonfruit blend into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sweetener mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly.

Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more sugar or honey to preference.

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
