Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropic Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropical cocktail drink for hot summer days. It can be served with ice, lemon and mint leaves to make refreshing drink. I love summer only because of the tropical fruits, especially mango, passion fruit, lychee, pineapple, etc…The base of the drink is the simple ingredients. It goes well with any additions to change it to more complex cocktail.
