Passion Fruit Lemonade

Homemade lemonade is everyone’s favorite summertime drink. It’s sweet-tart and refreshing. Once you try this passion fruit lemonade, you won’t be satisfied with anything else. This easy fruity drink can be made by the glass or the pitcher. Bubbly water makes this a sparkling lemonade that everyone loves.

Ingredients For Passion Fruit Lemonade

• Passion Fruit Syrup
• Lemon Juice
• Sparkling Water

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 I use it 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 for extraneous pulp and seeds. (You don’t want seeds in your homemade lemonade, right?)

Making Passion Fruit Sparkling Lemonade By The Glass

With only 3 ingredients, this fruity drink comes together very quickly. 

• Fill a glass with ice.
• Add the passion fruit syrup and lemon juice.
• Top with bubbly water and stir to combine.
• Garnish if desired with a lemon slice and/or passion fruit seeds.

To Make Passion Fruit Lemonade By The Pitcher

• Combine the passion fruit syrup and lemon juice in a pitcher.
• Chill the passion fruit mixture for several hours or overnight. Chill unopened containers of sparkling water separately.
• Just before serving, stir in the chilled sparkling water and pour the homemade lemonade into glasses.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more passion fruit syrup if desired.
