Equipment

  • Highball glass or wine glass
  • Measuring jigger or measuring cups
  • Bar spoon or long-handled spoon
  • Citrus juicer
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Ice bucket
  • Cutting board and knife

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe passion fruits
  • 2 oz 60ml freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 oz 15ml simple syrup
  • 4 oz 120ml soda water or sparkling water
  • 1 orange slice for garnish
  • 1 sprig of mint for garnish
  • Ice cubes

For the best flavor, use ripe passion fruits that give slightly when pressed. They should look wrinkled on the outside, which indicates ripeness.

Instructions

  • Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a fine mesh strainer set over a small bowl.
  • Press the pulp with a spoon to extract the juice, collecting about 1 oz (30ml) of passion fruit juice.
  • Fill your glass with ice cubes.
  • Pour the passion fruit juice, orange juice, and simple syrup into the glass.
  • Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine the flavors.
  • Top with soda water and stir once more, very gently to avoid losing carbonation.
  • Garnish with an orange slice and a sprig of mint. The mint adds a fresh aroma that complements the tropical and citrus notes.

Notes

This recipe can be easily scaled up to make a pitcher for parties. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed.
For a sweeter version, increase the simple syrup to 3/4 oz (22ml). If you prefer it less sweet, reduce to 1/4 oz (7ml).
Passion fruit puree can be substituted if fresh passion fruits aren’t available. Use about 1 oz (30ml) of puree per serving.
The mocktail is best served immediately while the soda water is still bubbly. If preparing in advance, mix everything except the soda water, then add it just before serving.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

The Passion Fruit Orange Spritz Mocktail offers a bright, tropical flavor profile with a perfect balance of sweet and tart notes.

The passion fruit provides a complex sweetness with subtle floral hints that dance on the palate. Its distinctive tanginess creates the backbone of this refreshing drink.

Orange adds a familiar citrus element that complements the passion fruit beautifully. The combination creates a sunny, tropical taste experience that feels both exotic and comforting.

Flavor Profile:

  • First Sip: Bright citrus with passion fruit intensity
  • Mid-palate: Sweet orange notes blend with tropical tanginess
  • Finish: Clean, refreshing with a gentle floral aftertaste

The carbonation from the sparkling water adds a pleasant effervescence that makes this mocktail feel special and celebratory.

This drink has a medium sweetness level that can be adjusted according to preference. The natural tartness of the passion fruit keeps it from becoming cloying.

When served well-chilled with ice, the mocktail becomes even more refreshing, making it perfect for warm days or as a palate cleanser between meal courses.

The optional mint garnish adds a subtle aromatic quality that enhances the tropical experience with each sip.

Substitutes

Can’t find passion fruit or another ingredient for this mocktail? Don’t worry. There are several easy swaps you can make while keeping the drink delicious.

Passion Fruit Substitutes:

  • Mango puree
  • Pineapple juice
  • Peach nectar

Orange Juice Alternatives:

  • Blood orange juice
  • Tangerine juice
  • Grapefruit juice (for a more tart flavor)

If you need to replace the club soda, try these options:

  • Sparkling water
  • Tonic water (adds slight bitterness)
  • Ginger ale (adds sweetness)

No simple syrup on hand? Try these sweeteners:

  • Honey (use ¾ the amount)
  • Agave nectar
  • Maple syrup

For a different twist, swap lime for lemon or try adding a splash of coconut water. These changes will create a slightly different but equally refreshing drink.

Remember that substitutions may change the color and exact flavor profile. Adjust quantities to match your taste preferences. The goal is a balanced sweet-tart-fizzy drink.
