Equipment

Ingredients

For 2 servings:

For a sweeter drink, add an extra tablespoon of simple syrup.

Instructions

  • Prepare the glass: Fill two highball glasses with ice cubes.
  • Muddle the mint: Place 10-12 mint leaves in each glass. Gently muddle to release the mint oils without shredding the leaves.
  • Add the citrus: Squeeze the juice of one lime into each glass (about 1 ounce per glass).
  • Add passionfruit: Spoon 2 tablespoons of passionfruit pulp into each glass. If using whole passionfruits, scoop out the pulp with seeds.
  • Add sweetener: Pour 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of simple syrup into each glass.
  • Mix and top: Stir the mixture with a bar spoon. Top with 4 ounces of club soda per glass.
  • Garnish: Add a lime wheel and fresh mint sprig to each glass.
  • Serve immediately while the drink is cold and the carbonation is fresh.

Notes

This mocktail can be customized in several ways.
For a smoother texture, strain the passionfruit to remove seeds before adding.
Prep ingredients ahead of time if serving at a party.
Mix the mint, lime, passionfruit, and simple syrup in a pitcher, then add ice and club soda when guests arrive.
For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except club soda with 1 cup of ice until smooth. Pour into glasses and top with club soda.
Store leftover simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in an airtight container. Fresh passionfruit pulp can be frozen in ice cube trays for future use.
Children particularly enjoy this mocktail, especially when served with colorful straws and extra garnishes.

Tasting Notes

This Passionfruit Mojito Mocktail delivers a bright, tropical flavor profile that balances sweetness with refreshing acidity. The passionfruit provides a bold, exotic taste that stands out immediately.

The mint adds a cooling effect that complements the tangy passionfruit perfectly.

When you take your first sip, the mint hits first, followed by the fruity sweetness.

A light citrus note from the lime juice cuts through the sweetness, creating a well-balanced drink.

The carbonation from the soda water gives a pleasant fizz that enhances the overall experience.

Flavor Profile:

  • Primary: Tropical passionfruit
  • Secondary: Fresh mint, tangy lime
  • Finish: Clean, fizzy, slightly sweet

The drink appears vibrant and sunny in the glass. Its yellow-orange color with flecks of mint creates an appealing visual presentation.

This mocktail works well in hot weather as a cooling refreshment. The flavor combination also makes it suitable for brunches or as an alcohol-free option at social gatherings.

The sweetness level can be adjusted based on personal preference by varying the amount of simple syrup or passionfruit puree.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitutes

If you don’t have passionfruit, try using mango or pineapple instead. These fruits add a sweet tropical flavor that works well in this mocktail.

For mint leaves, basil can be a good alternative. Basil gives a different but refreshing herbal note to the drink.

No lime? Lemon juice works too. Use the same amount as you would lime juice.

Sugar Alternatives:

Club soda can be replaced with sparkling water or tonic water. Tonic water adds some bitterness and sweetness.

For a twist on flavor, try adding a splash of coconut water or coconut cream. This creates a more tropical version of the mocktail.

Frozen fruit can replace fresh fruit when needed. Simply thaw the fruit before muddling or blend frozen fruit for a slushy texture.

If you prefer less sweetness, cut the simple syrup amount in half. You can always add more later if needed.
