This passion fruit punch will have you feeling like you’re on vacation, or in love, or like you’ve concocted the best-tasting love potion you ever did sip. Fresh passion fruit juice is mixed with ginger beer and rum for a delicious and refreshing drink.
It is believed in some cultures that you will fall in love with the next person you see after eating a passion fruit. SO, it only makes sense that this would be the chosen star of this year’s Valentines cocktail creation. The cocktail is very simple and, dare I say, also very flexible. YES we wrote it to call for rum (because what’s more romantic than Jack Sparrow?), but you can easily swap in gin, vodka, and heck …tequila. With a splash of ginger beer, a splish of passion fruit juice (easier to find than it sounds), and a splish-splash of lime, you’ll have yourself the makings of one darn tasty cocktail.
How to serve it up? You can be like me – pour it into your grandmother’s champagne flutes that have always felt very appropriate for Valentines Day OR, if you’re whipping this up for a wedding shower, Sunday brunch, etc., a good ole punch bowl works great, too.

Nutrition
Does this drink need refrigerating or can it be left out on your table for a few days
I’d recommend refrigerating, especially if using fresh passion fruit juice!
How would you make this non-alcoholic?
Just leave out the rum, ginger beer is typically non-alcoholic! It’ll still be a really tasty mocktail without it.
