These red rubies are made from water chestnuts coated with red coloring and tapioca starch. Once cook the tapioca starch covering the chestnut turned translucent, and the chestnuts looked shinny. Hence it's nickname red rubies.

The fruits used in this cocktail are fresh tropical fruit; however, not everyone will have access to fresh tropical fruit. Canned tropical fruits are another alternative to make this dessert.
Canned tropical fruits like lychee, jackfruit, rambutan, longan, coconut meat, and durian. These fruits go well together; however, not many people like the smell of durian. So everyone is welcome not to add that fruit to the cocktail.
