• It takes 5 minutes — This is a simple mocktail to make. You don’t need a cocktail shaker and it takes less than 5 minutes to come together.
• It’s made with passionfruit juice — Depending on where you live, fresh passionfruits can be hard to find, and when you do, they are expensive. This recipe uses passionfruit juice so you can make it any time of year at a much more affordable price.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Passionfruit Juice: Not all grocery stores will carry passionfruit juice, but likely a store close to you will. If you can’t find passionfruit juice in a store, you can easily order some online. 
• Mint: Use fresh mint leaves. There are many types of mint leaves. Any type of mint will work, but for the most authentic mojito flavor, use mojito mint. Dried mint will not work for this recipe. 
• Lime: Use freshly squeezed lime juice. This adds the brightest and freshest lime flavor. If you don’t have a choice, you can use bottled lime juice instead. 
• Simple Syrup: Make your own simple syrup by heating equal portions of water and granulated sugar on a saucepan until the sugar has completely dissolved. Or, use a premade storebought simple syrup. As a substitute, you can use agave syrup.
• Club Soda: Club soda adds a bit of fizz without overpowering the passionfruit flavor. You can use sparkling water instead. Tonic water and Sprite also work, but they will both slightly alter the taste since neither of them have a neutral flavor.

Equipment

Here is the equipment you will need to make the passionfruit mojito mocktail:

• A muddler to muddle the mint and lime together. 
• A highball glass to serve the mocktail in. Or, a large pitcher if you are making a batch for a group.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1: Using a muddler, gently muddle the mint leaves, lime and simple syrup, pressing to release the mint oils.

Step 2: Add in a handful of ice. Top with the passionfruit juice and the club soda.

Variations

There are lots of fruity flavors that pair well with passionfruit. Therefore, there are lots of creative ways to vary this recipe. Here are some ideas:

• Passionfruit Pineapple Mojito Mocktail: Replace half of the passionfruit juice with pineapple juice. 
• Passionfruit Guava Mojito Mocktail: Replace half of the passionfruit juice with guava nectar. 
• Passionfruit Blackberry Mojito Mocktail: Replace the regular simple syrup with blackberry simple syrup. 
• Passionfruit Raspberry Mojito Mocktail: Replace the regular simple syrup with raspberry simple syrup. 

Expert Tips

• Don’t over muddle the mint. Press down on the mint leaves gently. Don’t tear the leaves or over muddle. Over muddling can cause bitter flavors to be released from the mint. 
• Adjust the sweetness. For a sweeter drink, add in an extra ½ oz of simple syrup. Or, if you prefer a less sweet drink, leave out the simple syrup altogether. 
• Make it a pitcher. If you are serving a group of people, multiply the recipe quantity by 4 to 6 times and make the passionfruit mojito in a large pitcher. 
• Serve fresh. Mojitos don’t store well once made. Make this mojito mocktail fresh and serve immediately.
