If you have been following Beard and Bonnet for a while you know how I feel about homemade fruit syrups for sodas and cocktails. If you haven’t been following along long enough to know then I will fill you in….I LOVE THEM and this Pineapple Passion Fruit Fizz is my newest homemade soda crush!

I had never experienced the amazingness that is passion fruit until Melissa’s produce sent some to me a few weeks ago. I knew from pictures that it was full of what can only be described as seedy, yellowish goop but if the fragrance of the real thing was anywhere near what the scent of my favorite passion fruit bath gel was back in high school then I knew I was in for a treat!

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant as I cut open the first one – I didn’t know exactly what to do with it, but once the incredible aroma hit me I was sold. Anything that smells that intoxicating has to taste good!

The very second that I tasted it I knew – I was totally hooked, passion fruit would become my new fruit obsession, and the rest of the passion fruit in that box from Melissa’s would find their way into a fruit syrup that I then could mix into mocktails and cocktails, spoon over yogurt, and drizzle over vanilla bean ice cream.

Cheers to exotic summer cocktails and mocktails!
