Passionfruit & Ginger cocktail3

Passionfruit & Ginger cocktail

Look, I’ve never said no to a good cocktail and when I first had a version of this one at KOI (my favourite Asian restaurant), I was hooked. The way the floral acidity of the passion fruit (or granadilla as we call them in South Africa) and the ginger complement each other is just magic and it makes for a fantastic cocktail.

I made this during the festive season and kept it in a jug in the fridge and just filled up my glass every time I ventured away from the pool. It makes for an incredibly refreshing drink and if you were so inclined you could leave out the alcohol (which makes it a great drink for kids as well). I used light rum but you could use vodka or tequila instead as well. Or all three. I’m not here to judge.

    I had something similar to this when holidaying in Sri Lanka except they added an infused chilli syrup to it! It was amazing!

      Thanks Eden! It’s probably one of my favourites and now that we are properly in Summer here in South Africa, I make it more often than I’d like to admit.

    Love how pretty it looks and refreshing too! For me, ginger always adds that smack and I love adding it in my drinks, cocktail or not.

      Kankana, I so agree. I often have a jug of soda water with ginger, fresh fruit, lemon and mint in the fridge and the ginger just does something magical to it.
