Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita
A sweet, tart, and smoky mezcalita made with frozen passion fruit. An easy, fun, and refreshing summertime drink with just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes required!
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) bag frozen passion fruit purée (seedless // we like Pitaya // a 12 oz. bag yields ~1 ¾ cup)
- 1/4 cup mezcal (we like Madre or Del Maguey brands // ensure vegan-friendly as needed)
- 2 Tbsp agave nectar* (honey might also work)
- 1 medium blood or navel orange, juiced (save rinds after juicing, 1 orange yields ~1/4-1/3 cup or 60-80 ml)
- Sea salt (optional, for rim of glass)
Instructions
- Add the passion fruit, mezcal, agave, and orange juice to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness / strength of alcohol by adding more of either as desired.
- To rim serving glasses, add ~1 Tbsp salt to a small plate. Rim glasses lightly with juice by running leftover orange halves (or a lime wedge) around the rim of a glass, then immediately flip and dip the glass in salt.
- Divide between glasses and enjoy! Leftovers keep for 1-2 days, but will not be “slushy.” Can also freeze into ice cubes to reblend later.
