Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh passion fruit pulp (or 2 tablespoons passion fruit juice)
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 ounces white rum
- Ice cubes
- Club soda or sparkling water (to top off)
- Extra mint leaves and lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Mint, Sugar, and Lime: In a sturdy glass, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves, granulated sugar, and lime wedges together to release their juices and essential oils, creating a flavorful base for your mojito.
- Add Passion Fruit: Stir in the passion fruit pulp or juice thoroughly to incorporate the tropical flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
- Fill with Ice and Add Rum: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink, then pour in the white rum over the ice, blending the ingredients and cooling the cocktail.
- Top with Club Soda: Pour club soda or sparkling water to top off the glass, adding a refreshing fizz. Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine all elements without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Decorate with additional fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp and invigorating flavors at their best.
Notes
- If using fresh passion fruit pulp, strain out some of the seeds for a smoother texture if preferred.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace it with extra sparkling water or a splash of orange juice.
