🍹 Ingredients for the Passionfruit Orange Mocktail

• 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)

• 1/4 cup passionfruit pulp or juice

• 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• 1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda

• Ice cubes

• Orange slices, mint leaves, and passionfruit seeds for garnish

🧊 How to Make the Passionfruit Orange Mocktail

1. Step 1 – Prepare the Glass
   Start by chilling your serving glass in the fridge for about 5 minutes — a cool glass keeps your mocktail extra refreshing. Then, fill the glass halfway with ice cubes. If you’re entertaining guests, lightly rim the edge with a slice of orange and dip it into sugar for a sparkling presentation.

   Step 2 – Mix the Tropical Base
   In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, pour in the orange juice, passionfruit pulp, and honey (or agave syrup). Stir or shake gently until everything is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness — if your oranges are extra sweet, you may not need any added syrup. The goal is to balance passionfruit’s tartness with just a touch of honeyed smoothness.

   Step 3 – Add the Sparkle
   Pour the fruit mixture over the ice-filled glass, filling about three-quarters of the way. Slowly top with sparkling water or club soda to add that fizzy lift. Watch as tiny bubbles dance through the golden liquid — it’s like sunlight in motion.

   Step 4 – Garnish & Serve
   Finish your creation by garnishing with a fresh orange slice on the rim, a few mint leaves, and a spoonful of passionfruit seeds floating on top. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon.

   ✨ Pro Tip: For a party-worthy effect, use large clear glasses and float thinly sliced citrus wheels for that perfect tropical aesthetic.

🍊 Cooking Notes

• Add passionfruit seeds to ice cubes for a beautiful, slow-release garnish.

• Combine with non-alcoholic champagne for a bubbly “Passion Mimosa.”

🧊 Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

• Make Ahead: Mix orange juice, passionfruit, and honey up to 24 hours in advance. Store in the fridge.

• Storage: Keep leftover mix refrigerated for up to 2 days (without sparkling water).

• Serve Fresh: Add sparkling water only right before serving to maintain carbonation.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Using too much sweetener – overpowers the natural tropical flavors.

2. Skipping fresh juice – bottled versions dull the vibrancy.

3. Adding sparkling water too early – fizz fades before serving.

4. Neglecting garnish – a few mint leaves elevate both aroma and presentation.

💡 Tips for Success

• Chill all ingredients before mixing.

• Adjust sweetness to taste — passionfruit varies in tartness.

• Use crushed ice for a frosty effect.

• Garnish right before serving for that “fresh from the bar” look.
