Pineapple Passion Fruit Lemonade - The Healthful Ideas (2024)

Ingredients

• Pineapple juice - The drink from Starbucks is made with grape juice and pineapple flavor, there is no actual pineapple juice in the original drink. I like to make it with 100% pineapple juice though, ideally not from concentrate.
• Lemon juice - Freshly squeezed juice is preferred whenever possible. It makes a huge difference in the flavor of the drink!
• Passion fruit - I recommend using passion fruit puree. I use frozen cubed passion fruit with the seeds removed. If you don't have it available near you, you can use passion fruit pulp from fresh passion fruit and remove the seeds using a strainer.
• Water - You can add as much or as little as you want. There is no sweetener so the sweetness of the drink depends on how much water you add.
• Chopped pineapple - Starbucks uses freeze-dried pineapple chunks in their drink but since they can be hard to find and expensive, I used fresh diced pineapple instead.

Variations and Substitutions

• Sparkling water - You can add soda or sparkling water instead of still water to turn it into a soft drink or a mocktail. I like flavored ones with no added sugar.
• Lime juice - If you don't have lemons, you can use limes instead.
• Orange juice - To add even more flavor, you can add some freshly squeezed orange juice too.

2. Allow the passion fruit to melt and stir to mix it with the juice.

Serving and Storing

1. Fill your glasses with ice and diced pineapple as garnish.
2. Pour the drink over the ice and enjoy!

You can also add ice and diced pineapple to the pitcher but it will water down the drink slightly.

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

Can I use fresh passion fruit? I can't find frozen passion frit puree.

Yes, totally! You can strain the passion fruit pulp into the drink through a fine mesh strainer. You can also add it whole with the seeds but it's more pleasant to drink without the seeds.

Can I add sweetener?

I didn't add any to the recipe because I didn't find it needs any but if you prefer your drinks sweeter, I recommend adding some cane sugar or agave syrup.
