Cactus Fruit Video
Interesting look at the Pitaya market and new varieties being developed to be tastier and use even less water. These are from the night-blooming Hylocereus from Central America, although the Pitaya name can also be applied to many different cactus fruit. The more common name around here is Dragon Fruit.
The most interesting part is the difficulties with pollinating a night-blooming plant when it’s been taken out of it’s native habitat, away from it’s night-pollinator.
Maybe I should add a margarita recipe to this post. What do you think?
Well, this is what I found:
Red Dragon Cocktail
*Vanilla Vodka
*Stawberry Liqueur
*Dragon fruit
*strawberry
*Vanilla syrup
You should click through for the instructions, but the instructions are really just to pour it all together and stir. Easy enough.
