Passion Fruit Mojito Ingredients
- 2 tbsp fresh passion fruit pulp
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz white rum alternative or coconut water
- Club soda or sparkling water, to top off
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
- Additional mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Muddle the Ingredients: In a sturdy glass, muddle the mint leaves with fresh lime juice and simple syrup. This process releases the mint’s aromatic oils, infusing the base of the drink with a fresh herbal flavor. Then, add the fresh passion fruit pulp and gently muddle again to blend and enhance the tropical notes.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink properly. Pour in the white rum alternative or coconut water, which provides a subtle sweetness and balances the citrus and mint flavors.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Top off the glass with club soda or sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly without losing the carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the drink with a fresh lime wedge and a sprig of mint for visual appeal and an extra aroma boost. Serve immediately to enjoy the cocktail at its freshest and most vibrant.
Notes
- For an alcoholic version, substitute the white rum alternative with 2 oz white rum.
- Adjust the simple syrup quantity to taste depending on the sweetness of the passion fruit pulp.
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and aroma.
- Gently muddle to avoid tearing mint leaves, which can cause bitterness.
- Serve chilled and consume promptly to enjoy the optimal fizz and freshness.
