To make passion fruit lemonade, you need passion fruit syrup {<<< recipe link}. Living in South Florida, I have access to fresh passion fruit, however, if you don’t, you can also use passion fruit pulp that’s sold in the freezer section at the grocery store to make the syrup. It’s a really simple recipe and I recommend making a big batch to store in the refrigerator, so you always have some on hand for a tropical fruity drink.
Difference Between Passion Fruit Syrup and Passion Fruit Nectar
Passion fruit syrup is different than passion fruit nectar. The nectar is simply the juice from the passion fruit. The syrup is a combination of sugar, water and whole passion fruit seeds or pulp. It’s sweeter than nectar and it’s what I use to sweeten this passion fruit lemonade and other fruity drinks.
Use Real Lemons For Homemade Lemonade
If you’ve ever been disappointed by those powdery lemonade mixes because they taste “fake,” it’s because they are. I recommend using real lemons for this sparkling lemonade. Squeeze the lemons and use a mesh strainer to any extraneous pulp and seeds. (You don’t want seeds in your homemade lemonade, right?)

This sounds delicious! I’ll have to keep my eye out for passionfruit pulp – I didn’t know you could find it frozen, and where I live it’s hard to find fresh passionfruit. Thanks for sharing!
perfect timing with all these summer holidays coming up its sure is a thrist quencher and I love lemon!
Such a refreshing, delicious recipe! I’ll be making this all summer long!
This sounds so refreshing and delicious! I’ve never made anything with passion fruit but would love to try. I don’t even know about accessing it in Canada, so I’d likely be using the frozen pulp for the syrup (good to know it’s available!)
What a tasty and refreshing summer drink! Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa 🙂
