Dry January might be nearly over, but a fizzy, fruity mocktail is a great alternative anytime, especially as we’re becoming more health and sober-conscious. 

It’s also important to remember to provide non-alcoholic alternatives for your guests when you’re working out your choice of drinks for your event, wedding or party.

This version of a Passion Fruit Martini uses alcohol-free spirit, which comes in different varieties and is available at most supermarkets.  This recipe suggests using a version with a spicy, complex flavour.

This recipe serves 2.  To make it you will need:

• 3 passion fruits, halved
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 egg white
• 100ml alcohol-free spirit
• 2 tsp sugar syrup
• handful of ice
• sparkling grape juice, to serve

 

Method:

• Scoop the flesh from four of the passion fruit halves into a cocktail shaker. Add the lemon juice, egg white, spirit and syrup and shake vigorously until frothy.
• Add the ice, then shake again until the outside of the shaker feels cold. Double strain into martini glasses.
• Top up the martinis with the grape juice and garnish with the remaining passion fruit halves.
