Passionfruit Gin Spritz Recipe
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
- pulp from 2 fresh passionfruit – choose plump and smooth fruit that’s heavy for its size in store – it will have more pulp inside!
- 60 ml gin
- 200 ml Prosecco
- Sparkling water
- ice
- lemon peel twist, to garnish
METHOD
– Fill two large glasses with ice. Combine passionfruit pulp and gin in a small jug and stir well.
– Divide gin mixture between glasses. Pour over Prosecco, top up with sparking water, and garnish with a lemon twist.
TIPS
– For a lighter cocktail, substitute a portion of the Prosecco with extra sparkling water. For a sweeter cocktail, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar syrup to the passionfruit and gin.
– If gin is not on hand, you can use another clear spirit of your choice, such as vodka or pisco.
– Passionfruit is best kept in a bag in the fridge. They will last up to a month!
