Passion Fruit Spritz Mocktail Recipe
This refreshing mocktail brings together the tropical taste of passion fruit with bubbly sparkling water for a perfect alcohol-free drink option. The recipe combines sweet and tangy flavors for a balanced beverage anyone can enjoy.
Equipment
- Highball or collins glass
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Bar spoon or long mixing spoon
- Citrus juicer
- Small fine-mesh strainer
- Ice cube tray
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 ripe passion fruits
- 1 oz 30ml fresh lime juice
- 1 oz 30ml simple syrup
- 4 oz 120ml sparkling water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- 1 lime wedge for garnish
- Ice cubes
The key to this recipe is using ripe passion fruits. They should feel slightly wrinkled and heavy for their size.
Instructions
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a small bowl.
- Press the pulp through a fine-mesh strainer to extract the juice, discarding seeds.
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients.
- Top with sparkling water.
- Garnish with mint leaves and a lime wedge.
- Serve immediately.
The drink should have a vibrant yellow-orange color. Stir just enough to mix the ingredients without losing carbonation.
Notes
This recipe makes one serving but can be easily multiplied for a crowd. For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. For a more tart flavor, increase the lime juice.
Passion fruit puree can substitute fresh passion fruit when out of season. Use about 2 tablespoons of puree per drink.
Frozen passion fruit pulp works too—thaw before using.
For a fancy touch, freeze edible flowers in ice cubes to add to the drink. This works well for special occasions.
The mocktail is best enjoyed fresh but can last up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before losing its fizz.
