This passion fruit margarita recipe is made with fresh, fragrant passion fruit which brings this fruity cocktail to a whole new level. It’s the perfect drink to make in spring and summer months, when the weather is sunny and warm. With just one sip your taste buds will transport you to a tropical, Caribbean island. Enjoying this passion fruit margarita on a beach or poolside is not required, but highly recommended!

Passion fruit is known by many different names in the Caribbean and Latin America. In Puerto Rico, we call passion fruit “parcha.” It is also known as maracuyá and chinola in other places.

Ingredients for making a passion fruit margarita:

• Passion fruit juice
• Passion fruit puree
• Tequila blanco
• Triple sec
• Lime juice
• Agave or organic cane sugar
• Mint leaves, for garnish
• Flowers, for garnish

I love using my Ninja Foodi Power Blender for making juice, smoothies, dough, even masa for pasteles and alcapurrias! It’s my favorite kitchen appliance ever!

I blend the juice on the lowest setting so that the seeds don’t pulverize. Then I use a nut milk bag or mesh strainer to strain the juice. Store the juice in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

What can I substitute for passion fruit?

If you can’t find fresh passion fruit use passion fruit nectar or frozen passion fruit pulp instead. Regular, fresh, or frozen pineapple can be used as well. Other tropical fruits that work well in this recipe are guava, mango and papaya.

I can’t find fresh passion fruit near me so I order from Tropical Fruit Box. Use my code MADEWITHSAZON to save $10 on your order!

Can I make this a mocktail?

Yes, just omit the alcohol to turn this drink into a gorgeous mocktail. My kids love the passion fruit juice. Sometimes I mix passion fruit juice with guava or pineapple juice and my daughter loves it! It’s a great drink option for children and expecting mamas!
