Ingredients
Scale
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 (as needed)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
- Additional mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Muddle the Ingredients: In a sturdy glass, muddle the 10 fresh mint leaves along with 1 oz of fresh lime juice and 1 oz of simple syrup to release the mintโs aromatic oils. Then add the 2 tbsp fresh passion fruit pulp and gently muddle again to blend the flavors without over-crushing the mint.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink. Pour in 2 oz of a white rum alternative or coconut water to add a tropical or non-alcoholic base to the mojito.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Top off the glass with club soda or sparkling water to your preference, adding a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly without bruising the mint further.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish your prepared passion fruit mojito with a lime wedge on the rim and a sprig of fresh mint for visual appeal and extra aroma. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- For a stronger alcoholic version, substitute the white rum alternative with white rum.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your desired sweetness level.
- Fresh passion fruit pulp is preferred for authentic flavor, but frozen pulp can be used if fresh is unavailable.
- Use crushed ice instead of cubes if you prefer a more chilled, slightly diluted mojito.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for serving multiple people.
