This is fantastic, Charlotte!

Gin and basil is something I’ve really enjoyed lately, especially with Chartreuse like in Le Monstre Vert on Jamie’s show. Love the cocktails you’ve been doing here!

Brilliant! Have really been enjoying your vidoes of late Charlotte. Love the way you describe the ingredients that you use, with a touch of history, its flavour profile and how it compliments the drink. Look forward to more videos. Thanks. Ian

This IS a good cocktail and I will do this again for sure. I bought a plant of fresh, sweet Basil ,planted it in a planter along with the Mint. Nothing like fresh ingredients !

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.

Passionfruit & ginger cocktail

for the ginger passion fruit syrup

• 200 g sugar
• 500 ml water
• 1 x 5cm piece of ginger sliced
• pulp and seeds from 10 passion fruit
• juice and zest of 2 lemons

• light rum
• soda water/sparkling water
• fresh mint
• lemon slices

1. To make the syrup, bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the passion fruit, ginger and the lemon juice and zest and remove from the heat. Allow to cool.
3. To serve, pour a little of the syrup into a glass filled with ice then add some light rum and fill up with soda water. Add the mint and lemon and serve.
4. Alternatively, combine all the ingredients in a large jug.

Love that you used passionfruit! It’s such a beautiful cocktail and I’m sure it tastes amazing too!

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.

I’m in search of great drinks that’s less on the pocket. I’m inspired by this website. Yessss

Anna, it is there, or am I seeing things? 😉

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.

Am I being really silly, but where does the Ginger come into this? Not seeing any in the recipe!

Hi – I’m missing the ginger in the recipe? 🙂

Maracuyá Sour Cocktail: Passionfruit Pisco Sour

• 10 mins
• Prep: 5 mins,
• Cook: 5 mins
• Yield: Serves 4

It's hard to improve on the beloved pisco sour, but I think this version, made with passion fruit juice, comes pretty darn close. Maracuya sours taste best if you can use fresh ​passion fruit juice or frozen pulp. They are still good when made with bottled juice, but the tart passion fruit flavor will be less intense. If you can't find Pisco, you can substitute rum or brandy.

What You'll Need

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 ounces (1/2 cup) Pisco
• 2 ounces (1/4 cup) fresh, frozen, or bottled passion fruit juice
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 egg white
• 10 large ice cubes (or about 1 cup crushed ice)

How to Make It

1. Make sugar syrup: Put sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat, and let cool.
2. Measure pisco into blender. Add passion fruit juice and lime juice.
3. Add sugar water, ice cubes, and egg white.
4. Blend until mixture is frothy and the ice is completely crushed and blended.
5. Serve immediately in small tumblers.
6. Serves 4.

Note: Some bottled passion fruit juices have a lot of added sugar, so you might need to decrease the amount of sugar syrup to compensate.

To extract juice from a passion fruit: Slice in half and spoon out the pulp. Warm the pulp in the microwave or on the stovetop until it thins (almost to a boil), and then strain. Let cool.

Passion Fruit

follow us on

Country of origin: Ecuador

Mixer® collects in Ecuador and in other typical areas of Central America the best Passiflora edulis or passion fruit. This fruit is typically well balanced in its particular acidity and is then carefully pro- cessed to obtain a fruit pulp, which will exactly taste like the original flavuor of the fruit.

Even though Mixer® Maracuja was created for the preparation of frozen cocktails, long drinks, tiki cocktails and soft drinks, it also performs greatly in the pre- paration of smoothies and slush drinks. Maracuja pulp is bright orange and the flavour is both sweet and sour at the same time.

Maracuja cocktail

(Tropical Fruits Cocktails)

Here is one of the best reasons to visit Brazil; if you don't try a batida you'll never know what you're missing! Batidas are heavenly mixes of fresh fruit juice and cachaça—the potent sugarcane liquor from Brazil. Usually, the recipe will also call for "leite condensado" (sweetened condensed milk) and/or other liquor. They are prepared in a blender and served in tiny glasses, with crushed ice added. Batidas, like caipirinha, can be prepared with vodka or, if you're feeling adventurous, sake.

The most common batidas are made with passion fruit (batida de maracujб), cashew juice (batida de caju), and coconut milk (batida de coco). Fortunately for us, residents of these northern latitudes, these juices and the coconut milk can be found in Latin and Oriental grocers. If you can find the small bottles of Brazilian coconut milk, grab them. It's great stuff. Batidas frequently have humorous names like angels' piss, virgin's sweat, monkey's milk, etc. Enough intro, here are some great recipes I've tried over the years, courtesy of my good friends in Rio and Salvador da Bahia. Oh, and keep checking back with us, we will be adding new recipes from time to time. For more pictures of Brazilian fruits, try our Sherbets and Juices Pages.

The first two recipes were given to me by the barman at Hotel Tropical in Manaus. Frozen cupuaзu or soursop pulp can be found at Brazilian markets in Miami.

Batida de Cupuaзu or Batida de Graviola (Soursop, the one in the photo)

50 ml of cupuaзu or soursop juice

25 ml of cachaзa

a splash of Nestlй or Parmalat Table Cream

2 ice cubes, crushed

Shake and pour. The table cream, which is considerably thicker than what we call heavy cream, can be found in most supermarkets. Frozen soursop (called guanábana in Spanish) can be found in the Latino or Ethnic section of your supermarket. Frozen cupuaçu pulp can be found in Brazilian markets around the U.S.

Batida de Coco

50 ml of coconut milk

25 ml of cachaзa

a splash of Nestlй or Parmalat Table Cream

2 ice cubes, crushed

Shake or blend and pour.

Capoeira (from Bahia, as you may well have guessed!)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 small bottle of coconut milk

1/2 cup of Creme de Cacao

1/2 cup of cognac

Blend until smooth, add crushed ice and serve in tiny glasses.

Batida de maracujб (Passion Fruit Batida)

For each measure of cachaзa, use 1/2 of maracujб juice. Add sugar and crushed ice to taste, mix and serve. Remember that passion fruit is very tart! You can also make it with fresh passionfruit spooned right out with seeds and all. In this case, add a sprig of mint and crush the leaves before you drink it. Totally delish!

Batida de caju (Cashew Fruit Batida)

Same as above. Again, cashew juice is very tart; it's a great way to get your vitamin C.This batida is also called Caju Amigo (Friendly Cashew). The original Caju Amigo is a sip of cachaзa followed by a bite of the fruit, but I don't know too many people who can do it, for obvious reasons.

Leite de onзa

(It roughly translates as Jaguar Milk, onзa being a large, spotted feline — not the kind of pussycat you have at home, but the wild one!)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

same measure of vodka (use the milk can)

1/2 measure of Creme de Cacao (again use the milk can)

Blend until smooth, add crushed ice and serve in tiny glasses. Sprinkle each glass with ground cinammon, it looks and tastes great.

Batida de Amendoim (Peanut Batida)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

same measure of cachaзa

1 cup of crushed roast peanuts

Blend until smooth, add crushed ice and serve in tiny glasses.

Batida de Coco (Coconut Batida)

This is a good one to make in the U.S. because we can use coconut cream or milk found in most large supermarkets. For each measure of cachaзa use two measures of coconut cream or milk. Blend well and add crushed ice to taste. Yummy!

Batida de Milho Verde (Sweet Corn Batida. yeah, amazing isn't it?)

This recipe is for a crowd! Well, it depends, really.

1 small can of sweet corn

1/2 a bottle of cachaзa

2 Tbsp of sweetened condensed milk

Blend until smooth. Strain. Add sugar and crushed ice to taste.

Major Tip: There's a bar/restaurant in the neighborhood of Leblon in Rio de Janeiro called Academia da Cachaзa. It's a cute name — I don't need to translate, do I? Great place to try batidas and eat good Brazilian food (fantastic home made linguiça from Minas Gerais and escondidinho, an au gratin dish made with puréed manioc that "hides" the meats inside, hence the name). These guys stock over 2,000 different brands of cachaзa. Have someone call a taxi to take you back to your hotel! Downtown Rio, THE place for cachaзas (and live music) is Cachaзaria Mangue Seco, Rua do Lavradio, 23, across the street from Rio Scenarium. The selection from Parati and Salinas, Minas Gerais, is quite amazing, plus they seem to carry every cachaзa produced in the state of Rio, too.

Passion Fruit Caipiroska

Fruity, lively and deliciously balanced, with great-tasting Smirnoff No.21 as its base, the Passion Fruit Caipiroska is a twist on classic Brazilian cocktail the Caipirinha that’s perfect for a summer of great sport.

About this recipe

Ingredients

Smirnoff No. 21® Vodka

Smirnoff No. 21® Vodka

A vodka that's known around the world, Smirnoff is born of a long history of charcoal filtration to give smooth mouth feel and a pure, clean flavour.

How to make

Using a sharp knife and a chopping board, cut a lime into quarters. Cut a passion fruit in half and dig a spoon into the passion fruit to remove the flesh inside.

Place 4 lime wedges, ½ passion fruit and a tablespoon of brown sugar in a tumbler. Using a jigger, measure 12.5ml sugar syrup into the tumbler.

Press down on the contents of the glass using a muddler to extract juices and flavour.

Top with crushed ice and, using a jigger, measure 40ml Smirnoff No.21 into the glass.

Using a barspoon, stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.

Grab a bite

Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
