Description
This Passion Fruit Mojito is light, and fresh, with the bright, tart flavors of passion fruit and lime. It is the perfect summer cocktail recipe and is great for entertaining friends. If you are not a fan of rum, it is also amazing with vodka or tequila. You can even quadruple the recipe and make a full pitcher.

Notes
- 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.Â
- Make it low carb: For a low carb mojito, swap the passion fruit for cucumbers or mixed berries, and swap the sugar for a low carb friendly sweetener.
- Make it a mocktail: omit the rum for a delicious passion fruit mocktail.
