The mojito is one of Cuba's most beloved drinks: white rum, lime, sugar, spearmint and soda, served ice cold. This version with passion fruit (maracuyá in Spanish) adds a tart, fragrant, very tropical touch, with that golden color and the little black seeds that make it so eye-catching in the glass.
It is not a historical recipe, but a modern variation on the classic Cuban mojito, perfect for hot afternoons, a party on the patio or to surprise the family on the weekend. It comes together in minutes and with no cooking at all.

Preparation
- Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp with a small spoon. Set aside a little pulp with seeds for garnish and, if you prefer a less crunchy drink, strain only part of the pulp.
