Dragon Eye Juice – Longan Drink

This is another one of those drinks that doesn't taste like what it says it is. It's supposed to taste like Longan, which is a fruit like a lychee with a brown skin.  It's a tasty fruit, on the inside it's white with a big dark black seed. The name comes from Chinese LongYan (龙眼) and translates to "Dragon Eye," so I guess you could say this is dragon eye juice. Now that would be a weird drink.

This Thai drink is sweet like a plum or a date, and reminds me of the flavor of sno-cones when I was a kid. It's an artificial flavor, so of course it's not dead on to what the fruit tastes like, but I can see how you could imagine that it tastes like longan.

While I'm a little disappointed at the flavor, it's not bad for artificial fruit juice.
