Helpful Tips and Variations
– If fresh passionfruit is not available, you can use passionfruit juice as a substitute.
– Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less ginger syrup to suit your taste preference.
– For an extra cool treat, try chilling the glasses before serving.
– This drink can be presented beautifully in mason jars or tall clear glasses to showcase its vibrant colors.
Storage and Substitutions
To store any leftover components, keep the passionfruit mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the ginger syrup separately also in the fridge for up to a week. Refrain from mixing with sparkling water until ready to serve to preserve the fizz.
If ginger syrup is unavailable, you can create your own by boiling equal parts sugar and water with sliced fresh ginger and then allowing it to cool and strain.
