Raspberry Passion Fruit Water: Easy Recipe

Raspberry passion fruit water is chilled water infused with raspberries and passion fruit pulp; it takes 2 hours 10 minutes to make and yields about 4 cups (950 ml).

What is raspberry passion fruit water?

Raspberry passion fruit water combines fresh fruit and drinking water without blending them. The raspberries add a soft berry flavor, while the passion fruit pulp lends a fragrant, tart note.

It is one of many berry infused water recipes you can make in a pitcher. Serve it strained for a smoother drink, or leave the fruit in your glass if you enjoy the pulp and seeds.

What ingredients and ratio do you need?

For about 4 cups (950 ml), use:

4 cups (950 ml) cold drinking water
3/4 cup (about 90 g) raspberries
1/4 cup (about 60 g) passion fruit pulp, with seeds

The fruit adds up to roughly 150 g for nearly 1 liter of water. Measure the passion fruit after scooping out the pulp; the amount of pulp in each fruit can vary. Keep the outer rind and white pith out of the pitcher.

You will also need a covered pitcher or jar, a spoon and, if you prefer a smoother drink, a fine-mesh strainer. Choose ripe fruit for the fullest flavor without adding sweetener.

How do you make raspberry passion fruit water?

Rinse the raspberries and the outside of the passion fruit under running water.
Cut the passion fruit and scoop out enough pulp to measure 1/4 cup (about 60 g).
Add the raspberries and passion fruit pulp to a clean pitcher. Pour in 4 cups (950 ml) of cold drinking water and stir gently.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. Allow at least 2 hours for the flavor to develop.
Serve the water chilled, straining out the fruit and seeds first if you prefer.

Why do raspberry and passion fruit pair well?

Raspberry and passion fruit balance each other: raspberry brings a familiar berry flavor, while passion fruit adds a sharper tropical aroma. For a berry-forward glass, use slightly more raspberry; for a more pronounced passion fruit flavor, use a little more pulp.

As in raspberry infused water, whole berries flavor the water gradually. The pulp in passion fruit infused water disperses more readily and can make the drink naturally cloudy.

The main benefit of the drink is hydration. Raspberries and passion fruit contain nutrients when eaten, but the amount that transfers into infused water is uncertain; do not count the nutrients in the whole fruit as those in the strained drink. Your liver and kidneys do most of your body’s detoxification.

How should you store raspberry passion fruit water?

Keep raspberry passion fruit water covered and refrigerated. Drink it within 24 hours for the best flavor, and discard it after 2–3 days or sooner if it becomes unexpectedly cloudy, slimy or sour-smelling. Passion fruit pulp can cause some cloudiness from the start, so look for a change from the drink’s original appearance.

You can strain out the fruit after steeping and return the water to the refrigerator. Do not leave the pitcher at room temperature for more than a few hours.

How can you vary raspberry passion fruit water?

Make it more berry-forward

Increase the proportion of raspberries and reduce the passion fruit pulp, keeping the total amount of fruit roughly the same. The resulting drink will have a gentler tropical flavor.

Add a fresh herb

Put a few rinsed mint leaves in the pitcher with the fruit. Leave them whole for a subtle herbal note, then strain them out with the fruit if you prefer.

Add bubbles before serving

Infuse the fruit in still water as directed, then replace some of the finished water in each glass with cold, plain sparkling water. This gives the drink a lighter, fizzy finish while keeping raspberry and passion fruit as the main flavors.
