🍹 Sparking Passion Fruit Mocktail
A vibrant, tropical, and refreshing drink perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
-
2 Fresh passion fruits (or 2 oz of passion fruit puree)
-
1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
-
0.5 oz Simple syrup (or agave nectar)
-
4 oz Sparkling water or Club soda
-
5-6 Fresh mint leaves
-
Ice: Crushed or cubed
-
Garnish: A slice of lime and half a passion fruit
Instructions
-
Muddle: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with the simple syrup and lime juice. Don’t over-crush the mint; you just want to release the oils.
-
Combine: Scoop out the pulp of the passion fruits and add it to the mixture. If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the seeds out beforehand.
-
Shake or Stir: Add a handful of ice and shake well (if using a shaker) or stir vigorously to chill the base.
-
Top Up: Pour the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice. Top it off with the sparkling water.
-
Garnish: Give it a final gentle stir. Garnish with a sprig of mint, a lime wheel, and the remaining passion fruit half on top for that professional look.
Pro Tips for the Best Result
-
The Fizz: Always add the sparkling water at the very end to keep the carbonation alive.
-
Sweetness: If your passion fruit is very tart, feel free to add an extra splash of simple syrup.
-
Glassware: Use a Highball or a Hurricane glass to showcase the vibrant yellow color and the mint leaves.
