Here are five of our favorite cocktails to make with Absolut Passionfruit!

1. Passionfruit Collins

The Passionfruit Collins is a fruity twist on the classic Tom Collins cocktail that uses Absolut Passionfruit as its base instead of gin.

We said it was simple to make, right? No need a cocktail shaker or any fancy bartender tools – everything is made directly in the glass, using what’s known as the “built method”. This makes it a perfect drink to serve when you have a lot of guests coming over.

Grab a Collins glass or highball glass, fill it with ice cubes, then add the following:

40 ml Absolut Passionfruit
15 ml Lemon Juice
15 ml Simple Syrup
10 ml Passion fruit Liqueur

Next, top up your glass with Soda Water, give everything a stir, and you’ve got a perfect summer drink!

2. Passion for Days

Passion For Days is another easy-to-make drink that’s made directly in the glass. It mixes Absolut Passionfruit, fresh lime juice and fresh mango juice, and is then topped with lemon-lime soda.

“If you’ve ever asked your bartender for something sweet, fruity and exotic, you already know what’s great about this drink,” says Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador.

3. Absolut Passionfruit Fizzy

The Absolut Passionfruit Fizzy is a passionate twist on a classic Vodka Soda and contains just two ingredients – our passion fruit-flavored vodka and crisp soda water. And you guessed it – it’s another built drink, so you can put your cocktail shaker away.

Garnish with half a passion fruit and you’ll have your guests thinking you’ve traveled to faraway lands to concoct such an exotic cocktail!

4. Absolut Passionfruit Sherbet Shot

If you’re throwing a party, you already know that shots are a must. But if you want to create a party that’s on the next level, serve up some sherbet shots.

Absolut Passionfruit Sherbet Shots combine equal parts Absolut Passionfruit and a citric syrup mix (sherbet). You’ll need to prepare the citric syrup mix ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight, so plan accordingly.

Served in shot glasses dipped in popping candy, and you’ve got shots that are ready to pop. Best of all, these shots can be easily prepared in advance and chilled in the fridge, ready for your guests’ arrival.

5. Passionfruit and Blood Orange Martini

The Passionfruit & Blood Orange Martini is a fresh fruit martini combining passionfruit-flavored vodka with fresh blood orange juice, lime juice and simple syrup and it’s the elegant cocktail your next soirée has been waiting for.

To start, we recommend using a juicer or blender for fresh blood orange juice. Once you have your juice, grab your shaker and add the following:

45 ml Absolut Passionfruit
30 ml Blood Orange Juice
20 ml Lime Juice
20 ml Simple Syrup

Add ice cubes and shake hard until the shaker is cold to the touch. Next, double strain your drink into a pre-chilled martini glass, using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to keep any pulp from your juice out of your cocktail. Float a passion fruit half in your glass for the ultimate finish.
