The Passion Fruit Mojito is a special version of the traditional Cuban Mojito. For this drink, we replace the fresh lime with fresh passion fruit! The passion fruit makes it tangy, the mint makes it refreshing, and the dark brown, barely refined sugar gives sweetness and depth. Use real passion fruit pulp if you can, but if not, the local grocery stores have Passion Fruit Puree in the freezer section.

Ingredients

2 large, ripe passion fruit, halved

large handful mint leaves, torn

2 tbsp light brown sugar

65ml (2 1/2fl oz) white rum

soda water, to top up

Add some passion to your next cocktail combination of rum and fresh mint with fresh passion fruit!
Spoon the pulp from the passion fruit and divide between 2 tall glasses. Also divide the mint leaves, sugar and rum between the 2 glasses.
Use the end of a rolling pin or a wooden spoon handle to muddle (mash) the ingredients together, releasing their flavor.
Put a handful of crushed ice into each glass and top up with soda water.

Lounge back on your recliner and sip one of the most exotic and refreshing tropical drinks around!
