Ingredients

6 ripe passionfruits
8 fresh lemons
1 cup simple syrup
4 cups cold water
Ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Lemon slices for garnish

Simple Syrup:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water

Instructions

Cut the passionfruits in half. Then, scoop out the pulp and seeds into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl.
Press the pulp through the strainer with a spoon to extract the juice. Set aside.

Make simple syrup by heating sugar and water in a small pot until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool.
Juice the lemons until you have 1 cup of fresh juice.
In the pitcher, combine passionfruit juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

After that, add cold water and stir well.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
Fill glasses with ice and pour in the mocktail.

Finally, garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices.

Notes

Store the mocktail in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavor gets better after a few hours when the ingredients blend together.

If passionfruits aren’t ripe, let them sit at room temperature for 3-4 days.

For extra fizz, add sparkling water right before serving.

Frozen passionfruit pulp works as a substitute when fresh fruit isn’t available. Use 1 cup of pulp instead of 6 fresh passionfruits

Tasting Notes

The passionfruit lemonade mocktail offers a bright, tropical sweetness balanced with a zesty citrus kick. The natural tartness of fresh passionfruit shines through with each sip.

Sweet notes of honey complement the citrus base, creating a smooth and refreshing blend. The drink maintains a perfect balance between sweet and sour flavors.

Fresh mint leaves add a subtle cooling effect and light herbal undertones. This creates extra depth without overpowering the main fruit flavors.

The texture is pleasantly smooth with a light, bubbly mouthfeel from the sparkling water. Small passionfruit seeds provide a gentle crunch and visual appeal.

Key Flavor Notes:

Primary: Tropical passionfruit, fresh lemon
Secondary: Honey, mint
Finish: Clean, crisp, slightly tart

The drink’s golden-yellow color creates an appealing presentation. Garnishes of mint sprigs and lemon wheels enhance both the aroma and visual appeal.

This mocktail works well as a year-round refresher, though it’s especially enjoyable during warm weather. The flavors remain vibrant even as the ice melts.
