Steps
- For a smooth slush, press the passion fruit pulp through a sieve before you measure it. The seeds are edible, so you can also leave them in.
- Whisk 150 ml passion fruit pulp150 ml passion fruit pulp⅔ cup passion fruit pulp225 ml passion fruit pulp230 ml passion fruit pulp1 cup passion fruit pulp, 140 ml water140 ml water½ cup + 1 tbsp water210 ml water210 ml water¾ cup + 2 tbsp water, 45 g caster or granulated sugar55 ml caster or granulated sugar3½ tbsp granulated sugar70 g caster or granulated sugar80 ml caster or granulated sugar⅓ cup granulated sugar, 15 ml fresh lime juice1 tbsp fresh lime juice1 tbsp fresh lime juice25 ml fresh lime juice1½ tbsp fresh lime juice1½ tbsp fresh lime juice and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract1 tsp pure vanilla extract1 tsp vanilla extract1½ tsp pure vanilla extract1½ tsp pure vanilla extract1½ tsp vanilla extract in a bowl for about 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the base into an empty tubpint. It stays well below the max fill line, which leaves room for what you add before spinning. Put the lid on and freeze on a level shelf for 24 hours.
- Dig a hole about 4 cm1½ in wide down to the bottom of the frozen tubpint. Pour in 90 ml vodka90 ml vodka¼ cup + 2 tbsp vodka135 ml vodka140 ml vodka½ cup + 1 tbsp vodka, then lock it into the machine and run Frozen Drink.
To serve: Serve in chilled coupe glasses with half a passion fruit floating on top and, if you like, a shot glass of cold sparkling wine on the side.
My notes
Tips
- For an alcohol-free version, use the same amount of cold pineapple juice in place of the vodka, and serve sparkling water or alcohol-free sparkling wine on the side.
- Vanilla vodka makes it taste even more like the bar classic. With plain vodka, the vanilla extract in the base does the job.
- Frozen passion fruit pulp is the easy option: look for it in supermarket freezers or Latin American and Asian grocers. With fresh fruit, a 473 ml16 oz tubpint needs 8 to 10, or about 12 if you strain the pulp, and the wrinkly ones are ripest.
Why it works
Passion fruit is very sour, so it is diluted with water and balanced with sugar to about 17% of the base, which freezes into fine ice. Its pulp gives the slush body, and the vodka goes in at the end so the base still freezes firm.
