Passion Fruit Spritzer

Pro tips

• Chill your glassware and passion fruit beforehand for a colder drink without diluting with excess ice.
• Add club soda last and gently stir to maintain carbonation and fizz.
• If passion fruit is very tart, add a small amount of simple syrup or honey to balance flavor.
• Use freshly opened club soda for maximum carbonation and best taste.

Substitutions

• Club Soda → Sparkling Water (neutral taste, same effect)
• Passion Fruit → Mango or Guava Pulp (different tropical flavor, similar consistency)

Storage & make-ahead

Store prepared passion fruit base in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours; add club soda immediately before serving.

Can I make this ahead?

Prepare the passion fruit base up to 8 hours in advance. Add club soda just before serving to preserve carbonation.

Should I strain the passion fruit seeds?

Straining is optional—seeds add texture and are edible. Strain if you prefer a smoother drink.

How do I choose a ripe passion fruit?

Select fruits that feel heavy for their size with wrinkled skin. Smooth, hard skin indicates unripe fruit.

Can I use passion fruit juice instead of fresh?

Yes, use 4 oz bottled passion fruit juice, though fresh pulp delivers better flavor and texture.

What ratio of passion fruit to soda should I use?

A 1:2 ratio (4 oz passion fruit to 8 oz club soda) works well, but adjust to taste preference.
