Ingredients

• 1.25 cup sugar
• 1.25 cup water (for simple syrup)
• 2 lemon peels (from 2 lemons)
• 1 mango (large, diced)
• 1 cup frozen passion fruit (cubes)
• 4 purple passion fruit (fresh)
• 1 pineapple (diced)
• 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 6-8 lemons)
• 0.25 cup cold water (for blending the fruit)
• 2 cup cold water (for diluting)
• ice (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 1/4 cups water, and lemon peels.

2. 2

   Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves, then turn on low heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup steep for 15 minutes to infuse the lemon flavor.

4. 4

   In a blender, combine the diced pineapple, frozen passion fruit cubes, diced mangos, and 1/4 cup of water.

5. 5

   Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

6. 6

   Strain the fruit puree 1-2 times through a fine-mesh sieve, depending on how thick you want the final texture to be.

7. 7

   In a large pitcher, combine the strained pineapple-mango-passion fruit puree, freshly squeezed lemon juice, the pulp from the 4 fresh purple passion fruits, and the prepared simple syrup.

8. 8

   Stir the mixture well to combine.

9. 9

   Stir in 2 cups of cold water to dilute the lemonade to your desired strength and sweetness.

10. 10

    Taste the lemonade and adjust as needed, adding more lemon juice for tartness or more syrup for sweetness. Serve over ice.

Notes

You can adjust the thickness of the drink by how many times you strain the fruit puree. The recipe allows for customization of tartness and sweetness at the end.
