A bright, tropical, and creamy homemade version of the Starbucks favorite, combining passion fruit syrup with coconut milk for a refreshing and indulgent drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) passion fruit juice or concentrate
  • 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut milk (full-fat canned preferred)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut cream
  • Optional: fresh passion fruit seeds or slices for garnish
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Passion Fruit Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine passion fruit juice, granulated sugar, and water. Heat over medium-low, stirring until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Avoid boiling vigorously. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Skim off any foam if formed.
  2. Prepare Your Glass: Fill a tall glass with 1 cup cold water and about 1 cup ice cubes.
  3. Add the Passion Fruit Syrup: Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons (45-60 ml) of the cooled passion fruit syrup over the ice and water. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup if desired.
  4. Pour in the Coconut Milk: Slowly add 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut milk to the glass. For a richer drink, stir in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut cream.
  5. Mix Gently: Stir gently with a spoon or straw to blend flavors without losing the marbled effect.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally add fresh passion fruit seeds or slices and a sprig of mint on top.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. Chill coconut milk before use to prevent separation. Syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to 7 days. Adjust sweetness by varying syrup amount or using sugar substitutes. For a fizzy version, replace cold water with sparkling water.
