A quick and easy refreshing summer drink combining the tropical flavors of passion fruit and mango with bright lemon juice, perfect for parties or casual afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 medium fresh passion fruits
  • 1 large or 2 small ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemon juice (about 45 lemons)
  • 4 cups (960 ml) water (still or sparkling)
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (or honey/agave syrup to taste)
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a small bowl. Strain seeds if a smoother texture is preferred, or leave some seeds for texture.
  2. Peel and pit the mango, cut into chunks, and puree in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Make sugar syrup by combining 1 cup (240 ml) water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  4. Juice the lemons using a juicer or reamer, straining out seeds and pulp if desired.
  5. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, mango puree, and passion fruit pulp. Add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) cold water and stir well.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar syrup, water, or lemon juice as needed.
  7. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or serve immediately over plenty of ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best flavor. Leaving some passion fruit seeds adds texture and tartness. Dissolve sugar in warm water first to avoid gritty texture. Use cold water and ice for best refreshment. Can substitute sparkling water for a fizzy version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and stir before serving.
