This vibrant mocktail offers a delightful blend of sweet and tart flavors with a touch of fizz, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh passion fruit pulp (from 4-5 passion fruits)
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
- 1/4 cup agave nectar (or simple syrup to taste)
- 1 cup sparkling water (chilled)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- Passion fruit seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Passion Fruit Pulp: Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Strain the pulp through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. You can discard the seeds or reserve some for garnish.
-
Combine the Flavors: In a pitcher or large glass, combine the passion fruit pulp, lime juice, and agave nectar. Stir well to dissolve the agave nectar.
-
Top with Fizz: Add the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the mocktail into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few passion fruit seeds (optional).
Tips:
- Adjust the sweetness: Start with 1/4 cup of agave nectar and taste the mocktail. If it’s too tart, you can add more agave nectar by the tablespoon until you reach your desired sweetness level.
- Sparkling alternatives: You can substitute the sparkling water with chilled club soda for a less bubbly option.
- Flavor Variations:
- Tropical Twist: Add a splash of pineapple juice or mango juice for a tropical twist.
- Herbal Infusion: Muddle a few fresh mint leaves or basil leaves in the pitcher before adding the sparkling water for a refreshing herbal flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Muddle a small piece of fresh ginger in the pitcher for a subtle spicy kick.
- Frozen Option: For a frozen mocktail, blend all the ingredients with ice for a slushy treat.
