Notes
This cocktail can be easily adjusted to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more passionfruit syrup or a splash of simple syrup.For a stronger ginger kick, choose a spicier ginger beer.For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add more passionfruit and ginger beer. This makes a refreshing "mocktail" that everyone can enjoy.You can prep the lime juice and passionfruit mixture ahead of time, but add the ginger beer just before serving to maintain its carbonation.
