Ingredients

• 1 oz passion fruit puree or juice
• ½ oz freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 oz passion fruit liqueur
• 2-3 oz Prosecco
• 1-2 oz sparkling water
• Passionfruit half (for garnish)
• Lime wedge (for garnish)
• Fresh mint (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a wine glass, large coupe, or lowball glass with ice.
2. Step 2: Add the passion fruit puree or juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and passion fruit liqueur to the glass. Gently stir to combine.
3. Step 3: Pour in the Prosecco followed by the sparkling water. Stir once more gently to blend all ingredients without losing the bubbles.
4. Step 4: Garnish with half a passionfruit, a lime wedge, and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• Use chilled ingredients and glasses to keep the spritz crisp and cold longer.
• Substitute prosecco with dry sparkling wine or champagne for a slightly different flavor.
• For a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup or adjust the sparkling water quantity.
• Fresh passionfruit seeds can be scooped onto the drink for added texture and visual appeal.

Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh and should be prepared just before serving. If you have leftover passion fruit puree or juice, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not pre-mix the cocktail with the sparkling components, as it will lose its fizz and freshness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use canned passion fruit juice instead of fresh puree?

Yes, canned or bottled passion fruit juice works well and is a convenient alternative if fresh passion fruit puree is unavailable. Just ensure it is pure juice without added sugars for the best flavor.

What can I use instead of passion fruit liqueur?

If you don’t have passion fruit liqueur, try substituting with another fruit liqueur like mango or peach, or add a small amount of orange liqueur to complement the passion fruit juice.
