What is a passionfruit caipiroska?

A Passionfruit Caipiroska is a cocktail that combines the flavours of passionfruit with a traditional Caipiroska. A Caipiroska is a variation of the Caipirinha, a popular Brazilian cocktail. The Caipiroska replaces the traditional Brazilian spirit, cachaça, with vodka.

To make our Passionfruit Caipiroska, you start by muddling fresh lime slices with sugar in a glass to release the fruit’s juice and aroma. Then, you add passionfruit pulp, ice, passionfruit flavoured soft drink and pour vodka over the mixture. The drink is stirred or shaken to combine the ingredients well.

The result is a refreshing and fruity cocktail with the distinctive taste of passionfruit and the kick of vodka. It’s a popular choice for those who enjoy tropical and exotic flavours in their drinks.
