Passion Fruit Mojito

This Passion Fruit Mojito is a luscious and refreshing cocktail with a pleasant tropical aroma. Perfect for summer time!

Hello everyone. I hope you are doing well.

How are you dealing with heat waves that seem to keep hitting Europe and North America (and maybe somewhere else) lately. Technically, it has not been as bad as previous years here in Nova Scotia yet. But that’s all relevant. For me, everything is higher than 25 degrees C is a bad heatwave. And if there’s also humidity involved – no, thank you so much!

After a brief break we’re getting hit by another heat wave, and this time it appears to be rather brutal (Over 30 degrees C with the humidex reaching 38s or so.) I refuse this!

Thus, this was a good time to share this Passion Fruit Mojito, I thought. Normally, alcohol and heat are not good friends at all. But since a mojito is a relatively light cocktail, we can enjoy it. But please be mindful that if you don’t deal with heat well or have any health concerns (including but not limited to heart and blood pressure conditions), you should probably avoid an alcoholic beverage. You can make a virgin mojito (Just skip the rum and use more soda) or this Passion Fruit Green Iced Tea instead.

Passion Fruit Mojito

This Passion Fruit Mojito is super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

• White rum – the base spirit of a mojito. Any good quality and not too expensive rum will do.
• Lime juice – freshly squeezed lime juice provides the tartness and citrusy notes that perfectly complement the other flavors.
• Fresh mint – muddled fresh mint adds a cool, refreshing herbal element. 
• Sugar or simple syrup. You can use honey as a sweetener, too. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your passion fruit.
• Passion fruit – pulp with seeds. You can use 2-3 large fruits or frozen or canned pulp.
• Club soda or sparkling water – optional, for topping.
• Ice cubes – for chilling and serving.
• extra lime wedges, passion fruit, and mint sprigs – for garnish.

Ingredients

• 2 oz. white rum

• 1 to 1 and 1/2 oz. lime juice or to taste

• 7-10 fresh mind leaves

• 2 to 3 oz. of passion fruit (pulp and seeds), that’s 2-3 large fruits or use frozen / canned pulp

• 1 to 2 tbsp. sugar or 1 tbsp. simple syrup or honey – see notes

• a handful of ice cubes

• soda or sparkling water, optional and to taste

• Extra lime wedges, passion fruit, and mint sprigs for garnish

Directions

• Muddle mint leaves with sugar (simple syrup or honey) and lime juice in a tall glass or shaker.
• Stir in the passion fruit, club soda, and rum. Try and adjust the sweetness, if necessary
• Add crushed ice, and garnish with a lime wedge and mint sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

• The amount of the sweetener will depend on the sweetness of your passion fruit or pulp. If you are using pulp, often it’s already sweetened, so you might need to adjust this to your taste. For this recipe I used liquid honey, and it worked wonderfully with passion fruit.
