Mojito De Parcha

Who doesn’t love a fresh fruity cocktail on a warm day? Mojitos are one of my go-to cocktail recipes, there’s just something irresistible about that combination of mint and lime. It’s also one of those drinks that adapts to different fruity variations and can easily be converted into a mocktail version.

I’ve been obsessed with anything passion fruit since I was a little kid. I have so many memories of growing up in Ecuador and drinking the best passion fruit juice. I love using this fruit in everything from drinks, to desserts, and even savory dishes. In Ecuador, we mainly had the large yellow passion fruits. In the US and Europe, these are harder to find, it’s easier to get the smaller purple variety.

One of the things I get asked frequently is how to choose a good passion fruit. I usually pick them up and go with the ones that are heavier. Even if the sizes are similar, the heavier ones will have more fruit/pulp inside. If you are planning to eat them or use them immediately then choose ones that have started to wrinkle. Their pulp will be sweeter.

However, if you aren’t planning to use them quickly then you can pick ones with less wrinkles as they will last longer. I just keep them on the counter, but if they start to get a lot of wrinkles and I want them to last longer I will put them in the refrigerator. If you have a lot of them, you can also remove the pulp (with the seeds) and freeze the pulp in a freezer container, in small freezer bags, or even put the pulp into ice cubes trays.

You can make your own pure passion fruit juice concentrate using fresh fruit or you can use the frozen concentrate. I would avoid using store-bought sweetened passion fruit juice because it usually has other ingredients (grape juice) and sugar. However, if you only have the store-bought sweetened juice, then simply use less simple syrup – you might still need some. You can also add extra lime juice if the store-bought juice is lacking the tartness that the fresh/frozen concentrate usually has.

According to my brother, he tries to avoid breaking up the seeds when blending pure passion fruit pulp because the seeds will make you sleepy. Some people also don’t like the visual element that the additional specs of seeds add to the drink. So, to keep the seeds from breaking it’s important to pulse and blend gently. The goal is to help the pulp part get released from the seeds without breaking the seeds. Of course, if you don’t care about these factors then you can blend it on a higher speed and then try to strain it to your liking.

The packs of frozen concentrate, usually found at Latin grocery stores, also work well for mojitos. Frozen concentrate is also a more affordable alternative when you live in countries where fresh passion fruits are expensive. My strategy for these cases is to use the frozen concentrate for the drink mix. I buy just a few fresh passion fruits to use the pulp (including the seeds) for the garnish or to mix into each individual glass.

You can make this passion fruit mojito in individual glasses or in a pitcher. I find it easier, especially for a party or when entertaining to make them in a pitcher. Just add a small amount of sparkling water to the pitcher and let each person top off their own glass with extra sparkling water or club soda. I put extra ice cubes, a small amount of fresh passion fruit pulp, extra mint leaves, and lime slices in each glass.

You can also omit the rum from the pitcher and let each guest add their own. I find that some people like it extra strong and some people prefer less alcohol in their mojito. This also allows people to omit the alcohol if they prefer a mocktail version. For the mocktail version, I add extra sparkling water and/or some sparkling lemonade to replace the rum.
