Passion Fruit Mojito Cocktail Recipe

The Passion Fruit Mojito is a tropical twist on the classic Cuban cocktail, the Mojito. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for those who love fruity and tangy flavors. It's a popular choice for summer parties and beach vacations. The addition of passion fruit gives this cocktail a unique and exotic flavor that sets it apart from the traditional Mojito.

The Passion Fruit Mojito is a delightful blend of sweet, sour, and minty flavors. The passion fruit adds a tangy and tropical note, while the lime and mint provide a refreshing and zesty kick. The rum gives it a strong and robust flavor, balanced by the sweetness of the sugar.

• The Passion Fruit Mojito is a variation of the classic Mojito, which originated in Cuba.
• The passion fruit not only adds a unique flavor but also gives the cocktail a vibrant yellow color.
• Despite its tropical flavor, this cocktail can be enjoyed all year round.

2. Add the rum, passion fruit juice, and lime juice.

Seafood

Salads
