Begin by preparing your simple syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 2 cups of water. Place over medium heat and whisk continuously until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture is clear. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using.

While your syrup cools, juice your fresh lemons until you have exactly 1 cup of bright, tangy lemon juice. Take your dragon fruit and puree it thoroughly until it's completely smooth with no chunks remaining.

In a large pitcher, combine your cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, smooth dragon fruit puree, and the remaining 6 cups of cold water. Stir everything together until well blended, and serve over ice for the most refreshing experience.
