Ingredients You’ll Need
-
For the Mojito:
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz passion fruit pulp (with or without seeds)
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (or to taste)
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- club soda to top
- ice cubes
- lime wedges and mint sprigs for garnish
How to Make Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight
Step 1: Muddle the Mint, Lime, and Syrup
Drop your fresh mint leaves into a sturdy cocktail shaker or glass. Add the lime juice and simple syrup. Use a muddler (or the handle-end of a wooden spoon) to gently press the mint, just until you see the oils release and the room fills with that bright minty fragrance—be patient and avoid shredding the leaves.
Step 2: Add Passion Fruit Pulp and White Rum
Scoop in your passion fruit pulp (seeds included is traditional, and adds a playful crunch!) followed by the white rum. Give the mixture a gentle stir or short shake, so the sweet, tart, and herbal flavors begin mingling.
Step 3: Assemble and Top with Ice and Soda
Grab a tall glass and fill it with plenty of ice cubes. Pour your mojito mixture straight over the ice, making sure to catch every last drop—and those beautiful passion fruit seeds, too.
Step 4: Add Club Soda and Garnish
Top everything with a good splash of club soda, then stir gently to combine. Add a fresh mint sprig and a wedge of lime for garnish. That’s it—your Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight is ready to toast!
How to Serve Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight
Garnishes
When it comes to garnishing your Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight, fresh is best!

Add a spoonful of passion fruit seeds on top—guests will love the jewel-like appearance.
Side Dishes
This sun-soaked cocktail was made for snacking! Serve alongside crispy plantain chips, fresh guacamole, tropical fruit skewers, or shrimp ceviche to accentuate those Caribbean notes.

Creative Ways to Present
If you’re entertaining, consider mixing up mini Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight shooters for parties or serving in mason jars garnished with edible flowers. For a poolside bash, float thin lime wheels and extra mint sprigs in a pitcher, so guests can pour themselves a refill any time.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While mojitos are absolutely best fresh, you can store any leftover Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight (minus the club soda) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add fresh soda and ice just before serving to revive those bubbles.
Freezing
Want to get creative? Freeze the muddled base (rum, lime, syrup, mint, and passion fruit) in ice cube trays! When cocktail hour strikes, just drop a few cubes into a glass, top with soda, and enjoy a slushy, ultra-cold Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight.
Reheating
No need to reheat! If your mixture has chilled or separated in the fridge, simply give it a good shake or stir before adding the club soda and ice.
FAQs
Can I use bottled passion fruit juice instead of fresh pulp?
Absolutely! Bottled juice can save time, but it’s often sweeter, so cut back a little on the simple syrup to avoid overpowering the cocktail’s gorgeous tang.
What’s the best way to muddle mint without making it bitter?
Use a gentle touch—your goal is merely to release the oils, not pulverize the leaves. Too much pressure can actually make the drink taste grassy or bitter.
Is there a non-alcoholic version?
You bet! For a vibrant mocktail, simply leave out the rum and add a little extra club soda or sparkling water—the Passion Fruit Mojito – A Refreshing Tropical Delight is just as fun and festive booze-free.
Can I make a pitcher for a crowd?
Yes! Multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of servings you need, muddle all the mint and lime together, and add everything to a large pitcher. Wait to add the club soda until just before serving for maximum fizz.
Which rum works best for this mojito?
A clean, light-bodied white rum is traditional and lets the passion fruit and mint truly shine, but feel free to experiment with aged or spiced rums if you want extra complexity.
