If you want something little different, try this Passion Fruit Mojito! It’s sweet and tart with a wonderful tropical zing. This is a perfect summer sip. This simple mocktail recipe will be a new summer favourite!
I plan on making a lot of passion fruit recipes as I have a lot of these beautiful fruit growing in our garden. This Passion Fruit Lemonade is made with all the fresh flavours as I have used fresh mint and lemon also grown organically in our garden. It’s just so easy to experiment with different fruit flavours. I prefer to use fresh fruit juices in my drinks.
If you want to know if your passion fruit is ripe, look for some wrinkles in your passion fruit. They should be wrinkly, but still, have some weight to them. If they are feeling light or hollow, cut it open and see, because it might be past its prime, but you won’t know for sure until you cut. Once it is open, you should be able to tell pretty quickly if it’s not good because there really won’t be much in the way of pulp.

2 to 3 passion fruits
2 cups water
8 mint leaves + extra for garnishing
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoon sugar
Few Ice cubes
Directions for Passion Fruit Mojito
- Cut open the passion fruit and push through a fine-mesh strainer to catch all the juice, press hard against the passion fruit to also catch the pulp. Get as much juice and pulp from the passion fruit as possible. Reserve the seeds if you want to add to the drink. Set the juice aside.
- Muddle the mint leaves, sugar, and lemon juice together to help release the flavour from the mint.
- Add passion fruit juice and water to the muddled mix. (Add passion fruit seeds if you want)
- Divide into 2 glasses filled with ice.
- Enjoy the mojito!
