Vanilla Passionfruit Mojito Cocktail Recipe
A sweet and fruity twist on a classic Mojito, perfect for Summer entertaining!
Ingredients
- 3 oz white rum I used Bacardi Carta Blanca
- 2 passionfruit
- 1 lime
- 1.5 oz simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar heated until the sugar evaporates)
- 3/4 oz vanilla syrup I used Monin
- Dozen mint leaves
- soda water
- ice
Instructions
- Prepare simple syrup by gently heating equal parts water and sugar (I usually just eyeball it!) until the sugar has evaporated. Leave aside to cool.
- Muddle juice from 1 lime, pulp from 1 passionfruit, mint leaves (leave a couple aside for garnish) and simple syrup in your shaker.
- Pour in the vanilla syrup, white rum, and fill shaker with ice. Shake for roughly 30secs, until shaker is cold and exterior is frosted.
- Pour the contents of the shaker into two ice filled tumblers. Top with soda water.
- Garnish with the second passionfruit, sliced in half, and a sprig of mint.
Notes
Keep your rum in the freezer before making for optimum coolness
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, don't worry, just give it a good stir instead!
I used normal ice cubes for ease but if you can get crushed ice / want to crush regular ice for this it'll make it more traditionally a mojito
