For Thuy Diem Pham – chef and author of Vietnamese Made Easy: Simple, Modern Recipes For Every Day – the dramatic dragon fruit was the inspiration for this zippy, weekend-ready cocktail: “This refreshing margarita balances the sweetness of dragon fruit and strawberry with a zesty lime kick. The chilli-salt rim enhances its vibrant flavours, and a fresh Thai basil leaf adds an aromatic touch.”Time and servings
