This Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that combines the tropical tartness of passion fruit with the smoky depth of mezcal. Enhanced with a touch of agave nectar and fresh orange juice, it’s perfect for a cooling summer drink or a unique party cocktail. The frozen passion fruit purée creates a slushy texture, making each sip delightfully chilled and flavorful.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz.) bag frozen passion fruit purée (seedless, approximately 1 ¾ cups)
  • 1/4 cup mezcal (brands like Madre or Del Maguey, ensure vegan-friendly if required)
  • 2 Tbsp agave nectar (honey can be substituted if desired)
  • 1 medium blood or navel orange, juiced (about 1/4-1/3 cup or 60-80 ml)
  • Sea salt (optional, for rimming the glass)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Begin by rimming your glass with sea salt if desired. Rub a slice of orange around the rim, then dip the edge into a shallow plate of sea salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen passion fruit purée, mezcal, agave nectar, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Ensure the purée is slightly softened to blend easily.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is fully combined and has a slushy, frozen consistency with no large chunks remaining.
  4. Serve: Pour the blended mezcalita into the prepared glass. Garnish with a slice of orange or a small passion fruit wedge if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing frozen texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan drink, verify that the mezcal brand used is vegan-friendly.
  • Agave nectar is preferred to keep the drink vegan; honey can be used as an alternative but is not vegan.
  • Use frozen passion fruit purée for the best texture. Fresh purée may not provide the same slushy consistency.
  • Sea salt rim is optional but adds a nice flavor contrast to the sweetness and smokiness of the cocktail.
  • If preferred less sweet, adjust the amount of agave nectar accordingly.
