- 2–3 oz Prosecco
- 1–2 oz sparkling water

- Step 3: Pour in the Prosecco and sparkling water, then stir gently once more to blend the flavors.
- Step 4: Garnish your spritz with a half passionfruit, a lime wedge, and a sprig of fresh mint for a beautiful, aromatic finish.
Tips & Variations
- For a less sweet drink, reduce the passion fruit liqueur or add more sparkling water.
- Try substituting lime juice with lemon juice for a slightly different citrus note.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace the Prosecco and passion fruit liqueur with sparkling grape juice and extra passion fruit juice.
Storage
The Passionfruit Spritz is best served fresh to maintain its fizz and vibrant flavors. If needed, prepare the fruit mixture in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then add sparkling components just before serving. Leftover spritz is not recommended to store due to loss of carbonation.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use fresh passionfruit instead of puree or juice?
Yes, you can scoop out fresh passionfruit pulp and use it directly. It adds texture and freshness but may need gentle stirring to blend well with other ingredients.
What glassware works best for this cocktail?
A wine glass, large coupe, or lowball glass all work well. Choose your favorite to show off the colorful drink and accommodate the ice and sparkling liquids comfortably.
