Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients
Alright, so here’s the lowdown on what you need. It’s super simple—like, you could totally grab these on a whim at the store! You’ll need:
– 2 ripe passionfruits (they gotta be soft, okay?)
– 10 fresh mint leaves (don’t skimp on these!)
– 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey, if you’re fancy)
– 1 ounce coconut water (get the good stuff, you know?)
– 1 ounce lemon juice (fresh is best, but bottled works too!)
– Soda water
– Ice cubes (obvi)
– A mint sprig for garnish (because we’re classy like that)
Got it? Great! Let’s go crush this drink!
So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly
So, a lil’ story for ya. 🥥☀️ Last summer, I was lounging by the pool, trying to pretend I was on some beach in Bali (spoiler: I was in my backyard). Anyway, I wanted a drink that screamed “vacation!” and then BAM! I remembered my passionfruit stash. I whipped up this Passionfruit Mint Smash, and, OMG, I felt like I was on a tropical island! Like, every sip took me further away from the chaos of life. My friends were sipping it, and they all went, “What is this magic?” So now, it’s become a summer staple—everyone begs for it!
The One Trick That Changes Everything
Okay, here’s the secret sauce—literally! When you’re muddling the mint and sugar, don’t go all Hulk on it. You wanna be gentle! Just enough to release those mint oils without turning it into a green mush. Trust me, this will make your drink taste like a dreamy vacation instead of a minty swamp. 😅
Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
– Too much sugar? Ugh, I’ve been there. Start small, and you can always add more.
– Coconut water? Don’t go for the sugary brands—look for the pure stuff. Your drink will thank you later!
– Ice cubes: Seriously, fill that glass up! A warm Passionfruit Mint Smash is just sad.
– Straining the mixture: Make sure you get all those pesky seeds out. Nobody wants to be chomping on seeds while sipping!
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
Okay, so if you somehow have leftovers (which is a miracle), just store the mint and passionfruit mixture in the fridge for a day or two. But don’t put the soda water in until you’re ready to drink it—otherwise, it’ll go flat, and that’s just tragic. 😭
