Cocktails with Passion fruit syrup
Passion fruit syrup is a sweet non-alcoholic syrup flavored with passion fruit, adding tropical flavor, sweetness and color.
How it's used
A sweetener first and a fruit flavor second: it replaces sugar syrup, not citrus, so a sour still needs its lime. Use the full 15 ml when it is the only sweetener, 5–8 ml when the drink has sugar elsewhere. Rum, tequila and vanilla suit it.
Substitutes for Passion fruit syrup
Homemade passion fruit syrup
Mix equal parts purée or pulp with 2:1 sugar syrup, and use the same amount.
Adds acidity and body, but with little or no sugar of its own it will not sweeten the drink.
Bottles like Passoã swap straight in, for a less sweet, slightly stronger drink.
Plain sugar syrup
Keeps the sweetness but loses the fruit.
Passion fruit nectar
Will not do. This thin carton drink dilutes more than it sweetens.
