Passion Coconut Aperitivo Hour

Passion fruit gives a bitter aperitif alternative a bold tropical aroma, while coconut water softens the sharpness without making the drink creamy. The combination is lighter than a coconut cocktail and more fragrant than a plain aperitif spritz. Strain the passion fruit seeds if you'd rather keep the texture smooth. Check the alternative's sweetness before deciding on any additions. You should get bitter botanicals, tart fruit, and a mellow coconut finish, with no single element taking over completely.

Ingredients

• 2 oz 0.0% non-alcoholic aperitif
• 4 oz Sparkling water
• 1/2 oz Passion fruit pulp
• 2 oz Coconut water

Make it

1. Prepare the fruit and herbs as listed. Lightly press soft fruit and herbs in a glass without shredding the leaves.

3. Add ice if desired, then pour in the chilled carbonated mixer. Stir gently once and serve.

Benefits

Coconut water · a potassium contribution

Beside 0.0% aperitif and passion fruit, coconut water offers a little potassium, used by your body for maintaining normal fluid balance, as well as a light coconut sweetness.

A sparkling setting for passion fruit

Pairing passion fruit with 0.0% aperitif and coconut water puts a fragrant tropical sharpness into a fizzy glass, with bubbles making the texture part of the pleasure.
