Serving Size 2

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: I use a shaker to get everything mixed up nicely.
  • Fine mesh strainer: Helps catch all the seeds and pulp from the passion fruit.
  • Jigger or measuring cup: Because a well-balanced cocktail just tastes better.
  • Bar spoon: Stirring helps the flavors mingle.
  • Champagne flute or wine glass: I like serving it in glasses that really show off the color.
  • Knife and spoon: For cutting and scooping out the passion fruit bits.
  • Ice: Gotta chill the drink before serving, of course.

Ingredients

  • Prosecco: 1 bottle keep it nice and cold
  • Fresh passion fruit: 2 ripe ones
  • Vodka: 1.5 oz totally optional, just for a little kick
  • Simple syrup: 1 oz add more or less, depending on your sweet tooth
  • Lime juice: 1 oz fresh is best, trust me
  • Ice: For shaking
  • Mint leaves or lime wheel: For garnish if you’re feeling fancy

Instructions

  • Slice the passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp into your cocktail shaker.
  • Add vodka (if you’re using it), simple syrup, lime juice, and a handful of ice.
  • Shake everything for about 10–15 seconds so it gets nice and cold.
  • Strain the mix through a fine strainer into a champagne flute or wine glass.
  • Top it off gently with chilled Prosecco—don’t fill it all the way to the brim.
  • Give it a gentle stir with a bar spoon to mix things up.
  • Garnish with a mint leaf or lime wheel if you want to make it look extra nice.

Notes

I always reach for ripe passion fruit—the heavier and more wrinkly it is, the better the flavor and aroma. If you like it sweeter, just add a little more simple syrup, tasting as you go.
Vodka’s totally optional, but it does give the drink a bit more punch. Oh, and never shake the Prosecco with everything else—unless you want a fizzy mess and flat bubbles.
If fresh passion fruit isn’t around, sometimes I’ll use a good-quality puree. Still, nothing really beats the real thing. Adjust your syrup and lime juice to get that sweet-tart balance just right for you.

Must Have Ingredients

Tasting Notes

First sip? The Prosecco’s fizz really pops, super crisp and refreshing. It’s such a nice feeling on the tongue.

The passion fruit brings this tangy-sweet layer that stands out against the dry sparkling wine. I love how the tartness and sweetness play off each other.

I get some citrus notes too, which make everything feel even fresher. The aroma is just so tropical—kind of like standing next to a bowl of ripe fruit.

The bubbles keep it light and lively, and honestly, I could drink these all afternoon.

Substitute

Sometimes I just don’t have all the ingredients for this cocktail. There are a few decent substitutes I can try if I’m out of Prosecco or passion fruit juice.

Sparkling Wine Alternatives:

  • Cava (Spanish sparkling wine)
  • Champagne (if you want it a bit drier)
  • Sparkling apple cider (non-alcoholic option)

Passion Fruit Alternatives:

  • Mango juice or nectar
  • Pineapple juice
  • Orange juice

Equipment Needed:

  • Champagne flute or wine glass
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Long spoon

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of sparkling wine or substitute
  • 1 cup of passion fruit juice or whatever you’re using
  • Optionally, 1-2 tablespoons of simple syrup if you like it sweeter

Instructions:

  • Pour chilled juice into the glass, about halfway up.
  • Top it off gently with sparkling wine.
  • Stir it slowly to bring everything together.
  • Taste, then add simple syrup if you think it needs it.

I like to taste as I go and tweak the drink until it feels right. Honestly, the substitutes play pretty nicely with almost any sparkling wine.
