Passion Fruit Base
Mix & Chill
Method
Passion Fruit Base
- 1
Prepare passion fruit
Cut each passion fruit in half crosswise. Scoop the pulp and seeds from 3 passion fruits into a small bowl or measuring cup.
- 2
Sweeten and balance
Add 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice to the passion fruit pulp. Stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds to combine. If the honey is very thick, warm it slightly (10–15 seconds in a microwave) before mixing so it dissolves fully.

Optional strain
If you prefer a smoother drink without seeds, press the pulp through a fine-mesh sieve into a small pitcher using the back of a spoon. Reserve the seeds if you want to keep the tropical texture.
Mix & Chill
- 4
Assemble the drink
Fill a highball glass with ice (about 1 cup). Pour the prepared passion fruit-honey mixture over the ice.
- 5
Top with ginger beer
Slowly pour 12 oz of cold ginger beer into the glass, stirring gently once or twice to combine. The ginger beer will lift the passion fruit flavors while adding effervescence and spice.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 lime wheel on the rim and 1–2 mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon. Taste and adjust: if you want it sweeter, stir in another 1/2 tablespoon honey; for more brightness, squeeze an extra 1/2 tablespoon lime juice.
