Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita

We love a margarita, but a Do tell. A mezcalita has the familiar sweet and tart elements of a margarita, but with the added smoky complexity of mezcal. This frozen version is SO refreshing and bursting with passion fruit for a fun and fruity twist.

Bonus? It’s (ridiculously) quick and simple with just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes required. Let us show you ways it’s done!

What is Mezcal?

Mezcal is a liquor comprised of agave. It has a smoky flavor that comes from roasting the agave heart underground for several days. It’s then crushed or mashed, fermented, and the liquid is distilled twice, creating the ultimate product.

In Mexico, mezcal is usually consumed straight quite than in a cocktail. However, the next drink is inspired by an cocktail we tried in Mexico (at Manta) made with mezcal, passion fruit juice, and a popcorn-flavored salt rim.

How to Make a Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita

Our Manta-inspired take: the frozen passion fruit mezcalita! It’s refreshing like a frozen margarita with the added smokiness of mezcal and the extreme fruitiness of passion fruit.

It comes together by mixing just 4 ingredients: frozen seedless passion fruit, mezcal, agave, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Then we salt the rim for a fun, festive look and intensified flavor. The final steps: Pour, invite friends, and luxuriate in!

We hope you LOVE this mezcalita! It’s:

Sweet
Tart
Fruity
Smoky
FUN
& SO easy to make!

It’s the right refreshing drink for at-home joyful hours, summer gatherings, and beyond! Delicious pairings? Try our Charred Shishito Mango Salsa, Mexican Green Chile Veggie Burgers, Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas, or Vegan White Bean Chile Relleno.

Does it keep? 1-2 Days

Prevent your screen from going dark

  • 1 (12 oz.) bag frozen passion fruit purée (seedless // we like Pitaya // a 12 oz. bag yields ~1 ¾ cup)
  • 1/4 cup mezcal (we like Madre or Del Maguey brands // ensure vegan-friendly as needed)
  • 2 Tbsp agave nectar* (honey may additionally work)
  • 1 medium blood or navel orange, juiced (save rinds after juicing, 1 orange yields ~1/4-1/3 cup or 60-80 ml)
  • Sea salt (, for rim of glass)
  • Add the fervour fruit, mezcal, agave, and orange juice to a blender and mix until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness / strength of alcohol by adding more of either as desired.

  • To rim serving glasses, add ~1 Tbsp salt to a small plate. Rim glasses flippantly with juice by running leftover orange halves (or a lime wedge) across the rim of a glass, then immediately flip and dip the glass in salt.

  • Divide between glasses and luxuriate in! Leftovers keep for 1-2 days, but won’t be “slushy.” Can also freeze into ice cubes to reblend later.

*Agave nectar is our preferred sweetener on this recipe for its neutral flavor.
*Inspired by a drink at Manta in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
