Passion fruit
The key ingredient is passion fruit, or as we call it in Hawaii, lilikoi. Passion fruit has a unique, tantalizing and unmistakable aroma. Unfortunately passion fruit is not so easy to come by, unless you live down under in Australia, New Zealand, Africa or South America where it is fairly commonplace. Passion fruit is farmed in limited quantities in California, Florida and Arizona. Look for it in farmer's markets. A passion fruit is ripe and at its best when it is wrinkly and not smooth-skinned. Slice the passion fruit in half and scoop out the seeds and the juice. It will transform your sangria...and maybe your life!

Wow, this looks fantastic! Love white sangria. What brand of white rum do you like the best? Thanks!
Hi Judit,
I used white Bacardi rum, although I am sure any white rum would work well. Let me know what you think if you give the recipe a try.
Unbelievable! #C2CKenya had an event this past Saturday night and we served the tropical sangria with dinner. We had to return to the store twice during the evening to stock up with more ingredients. No one would drink the wine…the Sangria was too good! Everyone kept asking how such this delicious drink was made. Bravo!
I am so glad it worked out Jene. Keep up the good work at Cradle to Career Kenya. You are a genius for figuring out how to do good things for other people and have a lot of fun at the same time!
ps We made it with Myers Rum. Will try it next time with the white Barcardi rum.
I want to make up 6 litres for a party, what would you suggest in how many we “times” the recipe by.
Hi Laura,
It depends on how much sparkling water you add. I would triple or quadruple. I have found I rarely have too much of this sangria! : )
