Product details
Soplica Exotic Dragon Fruit and Melon is a Polish dragon fruit vodka liqueur blended with ripe melon, at 21% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Sold under the Polish name Egzotyczna Smoczy Owoc•Melon, it is among the mildest bottles in the Exotic range, with velvety sweetness and very little acidity. Dragon fruit contributes a subtle, faintly floral freshness, while melon supplies the body and most of the sugar. It appeals to people who find sharp citrus drinks too tart and want a mild tropical fruit liqueur to pour over ice.
Soplica Exotic Dragon Fruit and Melon tasting notes
- Nose: Honeydew-style melon, soft tropical fruit and a delicate floral lift.
- Palate: Smooth and mellow, with sweet melon flesh and a light, green freshness from the dragon fruit.
- Finish: Gentle and fruity, fading quickly and cleanly.
Its texture is soft and rounded, which makes it an easy introduction to the Exotic line.
Chilled, neat or long: serving Dragon Fruit and Melon
Chill it well and pour it over crushed ice in a tumbler, or serve 30 ml neat in a small glass straight from the fridge. Because it is gentle and sweet, it pairs best with light, fresh food: a platter of cut fruit, prawn skewers, a mild Asian-style noodle salad or coconut rice pudding. It is a relaxed choice for a summer garden party or a slow Sunday brunch.
What to mix with Soplica Exotic Dragon Fruit and Melon
Sharp or dry mixers balance its sweetness best.
- Melon Lime Rickey: 50 ml over ice in a highball with 15 ml lime juice, topped with 120 ml soda water.
- Pink Dragon Spritz: 40 ml in a wine glass over ice with 80 ml dry rosé wine and 40 ml soda water, garnished with a slice of melon.
How it compares
Soplica Exotic Cactus and Watermelon is the closest relative, but its tart green cactus note makes it crisper and less sweet. Soplica Exotic Mango and Coconut is fuller and creamier, with coconut giving a heavier texture. Fans of melon liqueur will find this a lighter, more delicate take, bottled at 21% like the rest of the Exotic line.
