Why You'll Love This Passion Fruit Mocktail

This passion fruit mocktail recipe is a delicious drink with a tropical flavors. The passion fruit seeds add a nice crunch non-alcoholic beverage and drinking it makes you feel like you're on a tropical vacation! It's the perfect mocktail to enjoy on a sunny afternoon and treat your taste buds. Plus the kombucha provides some natural probiotics, which are great for gut health!

Equipment

• Glass - pick your favorite glass to use to make this mocktail!
• Cocktail shaker (optional) - if you want to be fancy and use a cocktail shaker, you totally can! But it's not required to make this recipe. If you do, I recommend using it to combine the passion fruit pulp/seeds, coconut water, and lime juice. Then pour the carbonated kombucha or water on top! The carbonation may not end well if you use a shaker 🙂

Passion Fruit Mocktail Ingredients

Full ingredients, measurements, and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Fresh passion fruit - picking ripe passion fruit can be tricky. You want to look for dark purple fruit that are slightly soft when squeezed. They are a good source of vitamins C and A, and fiber!
• Passion fruit kombucha or passion fruit soda water - I'm a huge fan of kombucha for gut health because it contains natural probiotics and is a low sugar alternative to soda. If you don't like kombucha or can't find a passion fruit flavor, you can substitute another tropical flavor or a passion fruit club soda! I like using something carbonated, like kombucha or soda water, to give this passionfruit mocktail a bit of fizz.
• Coconut water - coconut water really makes gives this mocktail tropical vibes (and is a source of potassium). You can use apple juice, pineapple juice, or even passion fruit juice if you don't like coconut!
• Fresh lime juice - this balances out the passion fruit and adds a nice fresh tanginess. Plus some vitamin C!
• Ice cubes - just to keep the mocktail cold!
• Fresh mint leaves (optional) - great to garnish your mocktail with!
• Honey (optional) - if you want some sweetness, you can add a drizzle of honey, agave syrup, or a little simple syrup (like a passion fruit syrup) of your choice!

How to Pick Ripe Passion Fruit

It can be tricky to find ripe passion fruit at the grocery store! It's one of those more exotic fruits that isn't available year-round. I looked at a few different places and had luck at Whole Foods, in the produce section. 

They look like small dark purple/blue balls and should have a slight "give" when squeezed. If they're hard when squeezed, they may need a few days to ripen. You can store in them in a brown paper bag with bananas and/or apples to speed up this process!

Summer months are the best time to find fresh passion fruit! If you want to make this cocktail other times of the year, I would buy either passion fruit juice or passion fruit puree to use in lieu of fresh.

How to Make a Passion Fruit Mocktail

Variations & Substitutions

• You can add a few splashes of passion fruit juice or puree to get even more passion fruit flavor!
• If you want to make this recipe alcoholic, you can add a splash of white rum, vodka, or tequila.
• Adding all of the ingredients (including ice) to a blender would make a delicious non-alcoholic frozen passion fruit daiquiri!
• You can use fresh mango and mango kombucha to make this a mango mocktail! Pro tip: the mango version of this mocktail is delicious with a lime and chili salt rim 🙂

Storing, Making Ahead, & Making in Bulk

• STORING: If you happen to have any of this mocktail leftover, I would try to remove any remaining ice and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day! The kombucha or soda water might become flat.
• MAKING AHEAD: If you want to make this passionfruit mocktail ahead of time, I would suggest prepping the fresh passion fruit and lime juice, but then mixing all of the ingredients right before consuming! You can cut the passion fruits in half and seed them, storing the passion fruit pulp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also juice the limes to save time whenever you want to actually make the drink!
• MAKING IN BULK: This recipe makes a single serving but you can absolutely make multiple servings at once! Simply multiple the ingredient portions by the number of servings you want to make it in bulk.
