This Passion Fruit Caipirinha is meant for sunny weather and lounging outdoors. But if the sun proves elusive, there’s enough complexity in this cocktail to keep you entertained indoors maybe while looking through a holiday brochure and longing for that summer getaway.

I love cachaça, the base spirit for caipirinhas, but it can have a bit of a hard alcoholic edge if not tempered with a little sweetness – this is were the sugar comes in.

But if the sugar is not fully dissolved when you are muddling the lime you can end up with an unpleasantly crunchy cocktail.

So put some elbow grease into the mudding – hey you are getting a bit of an arm workout as well as a cocktail. Win-win!

I love passion fruit with a, well, passion and they work incredibly well in many cocktails. If you don’t fancy scooping out the flesh and then straining to extract the juice there are really good brands of passion fruit purée out there.

I like to use the fruit so I can get some of the beautiful seeds into the cocktail but there’s no question that the pre-packed purée is much less work.
