• For a non-alcoholic version, replace the passion fruit liqueur and Prosecco with more sparkling water or a sparkling white grape juice.

FAQs

Can I make the Passionfruit Spritz in advance?

It’s best to mix only the non-carbonated ingredients ahead of time. Add the Prosecco and sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.

What can I use if I don’t have passion fruit liqueur?

You can substitute with another fruit-flavored liqueur like peach or apricot, or simply use extra passion fruit juice for a less boozy version.
