Fresh pineapple & passion fruit mojito
Subscribe
This fresh pineapple and passion fruit mojito is great for parties. Add plenty of fresh mint, lemon and ice for the perfect refreshing summer drink.
Now that we’ve been plunged wholly into Autumn in South Africa, I am both excited because the colder months are my favourite but also yearning a little for those warm, care-free days of Summer. And so, in a desperate attempt to hold onto that feeling, I made this cocktail over the weekend for us to enjoy on a beautiful warm afternoon.
I have always been a fan of mojitos and when we visited Malaysia in 2007 drank the most delicious pineapple, lime and ginger version which just makes me salivate thinking about it. I made a few adjustments to my version and also added some fresh passion fruit which added the most delicious floral flavour to the finished cocktail. For those of you who live in the Northern Hemisphere, bookmark this one! You’ll want to make this more than once this summer and it’s just perfect for your 4th of July parties.

[…] When you can’t be on holiday here’s the next best thing. This pineapple, passionfruit, lime and mint concotion will certainly fool you into thinking you are far away from home. Especially if accompanied with some Bob Marley tunes in the background. I’m not huge on cocktails but there is something fun about mixing a little spiked refreshment on a Friday evening to properly kick off the weekend and celebrate a hard week’s work!

This looks so good!
Thanks Simone!
I also am salivating from my seat looking at all your pics. 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE… CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR BLOG 😀
Oh Pang, you are just too lovely! Thanks so much.
This looks delicious. However, both my daughter and I have a serious citrus allergy. What can we use in place of of the lemon/lime juice?
Maryna, you could leave it out entirely. The passionfruit and pineapple both have a nice amount of acidity.
Mojitos are my favourite and these look incredible!
So make them!! 😉
I can’t wait to! 🙂
