    Ingredients to make passion fruit mojitos

    • Frozen passion fruit cubes: Pitaya is the brand of frozen, seeded passion fruit puree that I used. It can be ordered online or found at Target. Alternatively, you can use 1 tables passion fruit syrup, or 3 tablespoons seeded passion fruit puree.

    Mojitos are traditionally made with white rum. But this recipe is also delicious with dark rum, vodka, or even tequila.
