‘Maracuja’ is the Spanish word for a particular species of passion flower that is native to South America. In this cocktail passion fruit is blended with cachaça and fresh lime juice to create a light, slightly tart and very tropical mixed drink.

Ingredients

1 ounce cachaça
2 ounces passion fruit juice or 1/2 a fresh passion fruit, quartered
2 teaspoons simple syrup
splash of fresh lime juice
crushed ice
lime wedge to garnish

Directions

Place all of the ingredients, except for the garnish, into a blender and process until mixture is smooth yet slushy.
Pour the mixture into a highball cocktail glass, garnish with a wedge of lime and serve immediately.
