Summer cocktail with orange and passion fruit

Raise your glass and embrace the citrusy euphoria of this invigorating orange cocktail. Definitely, a cold drink (alcohol-free) can come in handy and quite heavenly on a super hot day but not only,

Why is this fruit summer cocktail special?

This healthy and non-alcoholic orange cocktail is a real star of summer refreshments that not only tantalizes our taste buds but also fuels our body with nourishing goodness. Bursting with the invigorating flavors of freshly squeezed oranges, it boasts a natural abundance of vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential minerals, helps maintaining that strong immune system and overall well-being.

Most fruit punches are loaded with sugars and artificial additives but this mocktail is a healthy alternative that's both delicious and nutritious.

You will definitely be embracing flavor and wellness in every sip! The best part is that kids can have it too.

It is guilt and gluten free, vegan and nonalcoholic but of course you can add some alcohol to make it even more extra special.

Ingredients needed

orange juice - try and juice your own oranges to make it that special
Passion fruits - these are a must
cherries - if you have some on hand
strawberries - best to use organid fruits as much as possible
fresh mint - I always have it in my garden
lemon juice - freshly squeezed please
honey - a nice quality honey

Substitutions

Honey - substitute it with maple or agave syrup or cane/coconut sugar

Variations

Add various seasonal fruits - I did name this a summer cocktail but in reality, we make it quite often and choose whether we want it with or without ice. Kids particularly love fishing out the fruits. We use different fruits almost every time we make this and alternate between berries ( any type of berry), grapes, melon, watermelon, figs, you name it!

Make it an alcoholic cocktail - add some alcohol to this anything like a nice Martini, liqueur (any flavor you like), vodka, rum, you name it and I am sure you will be better at making this a great alcoholic beverage.

Add some elderflower cordial to it if it is the season for that which is late May - June

A good refreshing vitamin punch like this is always great and adding some frozen cherries or grapes to it will make it cooler and undiluted as opposed to adding ice.

All that’s needed it’s a few ingredients mainly fruits and it’s good to go in just a few minutes. The most time-consuming task here is juicing the oranges.

A great drink to have at a garden party for kids and non-alcohol drinkers along with some good food like these BBQ-ed prawns, or these homemade burgers.
