Pineapple Passion Fruit Lemonade – Immaculate Bites

Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade – A Starbucks knockoff?

This recipe is similar to Starbucks’ refreshing drink, but with a few key differences: Here, the pineapple and passion fruit flavors really shine through, without the added grape juice or caffeine.

While the final product tastes similar to the chain’s drink, the fresh pineapple and passion fruit puree make all the difference. Plus, a splash of sparkling wine makes it even more delicious. 🤤

Recipe Ingredients

1. Simple syrup – All you need to make your own syrup is sugar and water. You can add mint for extra flavor if you like. You can also use honey or your favorite sweetener instead of sugar.
2. pineapple – Fresh pineapple makes a big difference here, so choose a juicy, ripe pineapple for this recipe.
3. Passion Fruit Puree – Frozen passion fruit puree can usually be found in the frozen fruit section or try it at any Caribbean grocery store. It tastes amazing and cuts down on prep time a lot.
4. lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice gives it a refreshing citrus taste, but lime works just as well.
5. Sparkling wine Although optional, we highly recommend adding it if you enjoy wine cocktails.
