Easy Agua de Maracuya (Mexican Passion Fruit Drink)
Tropical and refreshing, this maracuya passion fruit drink recipe is made with only three simple ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 passion fruits pulp only
- 3 tablespoons cane sugar or to taste
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Add ingredients to the blender and process on low for 30 seconds. I like to blend on low to keep seeds intact because they are edible and enjoy their crunchy texture.If you blend on high and break up the seeds, you’ll have to strain the mixture with a fine mesh sieve.
- Serve over plenty of ice, garnish with half of a passion fruit on a cocktail stick if you'd like and enjoy.

TIPS, TRICKS, & SUBSTITUTIONS
Seeds or no seeds. Like I’ve mentioned, I particularly like the snap of the seeds as you sip. Make sure they stay whole but blending the passion fruit juice on low. If the blender is too high it will crush the seeds and you will have to strain them out. Use ripe passion fruit. Fresh passion fruit juice can be really sour if the fruit is not ripe. Look for medium-sized fruit about the size of a jumbo egg with slightly wrinkled skin and consistent purple color. Passion fruit with smooth skin is not quite ripe yet and can be too tart. Variations. I love this simple, straightforward Maracuya drink but you can take it in a million different directions. Add a splash of white rum and a few mint leaves for a tropical cocktail. Switch up the flavors by adding fresh pineapple to the blender. Make passionfruit juice lemonade or limeade by adding fresh squeezed lime juice or lemon juice.Nutrition
