Hollywood Sunset LA mocktail — pink-to-orange gradient with dragonfruit and mango

Ingredients

1 teaspoon pink dragonfruit (pitaya) powder
2 oz mango puree
1 oz fresh orange juice
0.5 oz fresh lime juice
0.5 oz agave syrup
3 oz sparkling water
Ice cubes
Edible flower and orange slice, for garnish

Instructions

In a small cup, dissolve pitaya powder in 1 oz of sparkling water to create a vivid pink liquid.
In a tall clear glass, combine mango puree, orange juice, lime juice, and agave syrup.
Fill with ice and top with remaining sparkling water. Stir gently.
Slowly drizzle the pink pitaya liquid over the back of a spoon — it will create a pink layer on top of the orange mango.
Garnish with an edible flower and an orange slice.
Serve immediately — the gradient is absolutely stunning.
