Ipanema Passion Fruit Mocktail

About this recipe

The Ipanema is an alcohol-free mocktail made with lime, brown cane sugar, passion fruit juice and ginger ale. For this simple preparation, quarter a lime and muddle it directly in the glass. Add brown sugar and crushed ice, then add 50 ml of passion fruit juice and 105 ml of ginger ale to each glass. These single-serving amounts are averages from eleven Ipanema recipes. The original recipe does not specify fixed millilitre amounts for the juice or ginger ale, so the total volume depends on the glass size and how much ice is used. Prepare the drink just before serving to keep the carbonation lively. If making several drinks, the limes can be prepared ahead, but add the fizzy ingredient only at the end. Sweetness varies with the juice and ginger ale used; the quantities in the original recipe are retained here. Use drinking-water ice and serve the alcohol-free drink well chilled.
