Sipped on a sunny afternoon or as a sundowner, it’s delicious added to your favourite fizz for a simple cocktail, as well as many other equally quaffable recipes – passion fruit martini, anyone?

While there is a wide variety of passion fruit out there, the most commonly used ones are purple and yellow. This is because the jarred version is packed in a dense syrup, making it sweeter and more mellow in flavour. Therefore, if you want to recreate your favourite Starbucks passion fruit drinks at home, we recommend you add the sugar in small increments to find the right balance for you. For the taste of the tropics, add the fruity aroma and sweet and sour taste of MONIN Passion Fruit syrup to mocktails, sodas, lemonades, fruit punches and smoothies. It has a double flavour hit from juicy ripe passion fruits plus passion fruit liqueur, mixed with sweet vanilla vodka and a touch of lime juice to balance the sweetness.As we do use a fair amount of sugar in our recipe it might not be suitable if you're watching your sugar intake. In this recipe, the classic vodka and passion fruit liqueurs are replaced with alcohol-free spirit, creamy egg white provides the signature frothy top, and a touch of grape juice is used instead of a shot of prosecco. With a true sweet and sour taste, MONIN Passion Fruit syrup is particularly enhanced with other exotic flavours such as mango. Mocktails: Mix one teaspoon of the sweetener with soda water, tonic water, and lemon-lime soda for a non-alcoholic tropical drink. Torani and Monin are usually used in bars and cafes as an added sweetener to liquors and other drinks.

Once the basic syrup slightly simmers, add your strained pulp and boil for 1 minute until it thickens. Whatever sugar you choose, stir it well into the juice and water mixture until it is completely dissolved.

Smoothies: Add a splash of the sweetener to your favourite smoothie recipe for a sweet and tangy twist. The British added “apple” to the translation of piña (pine) and the delectable fruit’s English name was made! Bubble tea: A great way to enjoy tropical drinks is to add two teaspoons of passion fruit syrup for bubble tea. Meanwhile, as our version has no preservatives, and uses more fruit, it could be sweeter or more tarty depending on the produce. A passion fruit martini is the classic drink that springs to mind when you think of the passion fruit cocktail on the menu in bars and restaurants everywhere.
