- 3/4 cup Fresh Passion Fruit Pulp from about 5-6 small (purple) fruits, or 2 large (yellow)
- 1/2 cup Cachaça*
- 2 Tablespoons sugar or more if you prefer it sweeter
- Ice
Slice the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp, seeds and all - you'll want about a 3/4 of a cup of pulp
Add the sugar to a cup and mix in the passion fruit pulp. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
To that, add the cachaça and stir gently to combine - approx. 2 minutes.
Fill 2 cups with ice, and top them with your passion fruit caipirinha!
*If you don't have Cachaça, use the same amount of vodka to make a Caipiroska.
