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!   Check out my post on Passion Fruit to learn more about this tropical fruit.
This light, but full-flavored sangria is reminiscent of the vacation of your dreams. Yes, it is that good. The perfect drink for a summer evening whether you are in Honolulu, Noosa, Mal Pais or your backyard.

    Wow, this looks fantastic! Love white sangria. What brand of white rum do you like the best? Thanks!

    1. Kim says:

      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.

  2. Jene Meece says:

    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!

    1. Kim says:

      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!

  3. Jene Meece says:

    ps We made it with Myers Rum. Will try it next time with the white Barcardi rum.

  4. Laura says:

    I want to make up 6 litres for a party, what would you suggest in how many we “times” the recipe by.

    1. Kim Pawell says:

      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! : )
