Customizations
Here are some suggestions for customizing your passionfruit mocktail as we know you like to mix it up a bit:
Alcohol - If you can't resist making this a cocktail, throw in a few measures of vodka, gin or tequila. Whatever you fancy.
Cordial - we love the combination of elderflower cordial with the passionfruit but if you can't get hold of it you can use a lime, pear or apple cordial instead.
Mixer - if you wish to use a flavored soda water go for it, or you can also use a tonic water instead. You can also use coconut water if you like.
Expert tips
Follow these expert tips to ensure you get the best results and flavor in your passionfruit mocktail.
Sieve - place all the pulp from the passionfruit in a small sieve and rub around with a spoon to extract as much juice as you can. Add the seeds back in to the carafe, or you can leave them out if you like.
Pouring - when you are adding the soda water, pour it down the side of the jug to minimize the excess fizz in the jug.
Make ahead - you can definitely make this mocktail ahead of time, just mix the ingredients together without the soda water and store in the fridge until you are ready.
Leftovers - if you don't manage to finish it all, you can store the passionfruit mocktail in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. However, the fizz will go flat after a short time. We'd recommend adding the sparkling water only when you're ready to drink.

Just found this now that Summer is gone! Looks so light and tasty. Elderflowers so easy to collect - not like the gorse flowers I tried once - painful! This needs to go next Summer's list for sure.

I love elderflower, the blossoms are so delicate and beautiful! I keep meaning to make an elderflower cake for a while, but soon the blossoms will be gone and I have to leave it for another year. Lovely recipe and really beautiful pictures too! x
Sasha says
It's such a fleeting season isn't it?! You can blink and the elderflower can be gone! Especially with all this rain we've been having. Let's just say I've taken advantage of it this year! ๐ x
