# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in minutes, which means you can actually enjoy your afternoon instead of spending it behind the bar.
  • Fresh mint and passionfruit create this brightness that feels less like a party trick and more like something genuinely delicious.
  • The balance between tart, sweet, and herbaceous is just restful enough to feel indulgent without being heavy.
02 -
  • The muddling really does matter, and the biggest mistake is going too hard, which bruises the mint and makes it taste astringent instead of fresh.
  • If you're using bottled passionfruit juice instead of fresh pulp, taste it first because sweetness levels vary wildly between brands, and you might need less simple syrup than you think.
03 -
  • Make your simple syrup with a touch of vanilla or a hint of cardamom if you want to get adventurous, because these flavors whisper beneath the passionfruit rather than shouting over it.
  • If fresh mint isn't available, don't substitute with dried, just skip it and let the passionfruit and lime be the herbaceous notes.
