How to Make a Passion Fruit Mojito
1. Muddle the Base
In a tall glass, add the mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar.
Gently muddle to release the mint’s flavor—don’t over-crush.
2. Add the Liquids
Pour in the white rum and passion fruit juice or pulp.
If using fresh passion fruit, strain out the seeds for a smoother drink.
3. Add Ice and Top Off
Fill the glass with crushed ice to create a thick layer.
Top with club soda.
4. Stir and Serve
Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Mojito
- Adjust sweetness: Add more sugar or sweetener if your passion fruit is very tart
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lime and mint make a big difference
- Strain or not: Leave seeds in for texture or strain for a smoother drink
