Looking for a refreshing way to cool down your day? This mango passion fruit juice blends sweet, tart, and tropical goodness into one perfect drink.

I grew up with the luxury of walking outside and picking fresh fruit right from the tree—mangoes (Julie, ice cream, starchy), cherries, pommerac, oranges, grapefruit, pommecythere, passion fruit, pomelos, and more.

Juice combinations were endless—sometimes just one fruit, sometimes whatever was ripe and ready. And let me tell you, mango and passion fruit is a match made in fruity heaven. Even Starbucks caught on.

This homemade version is:

free of artificial flavors,
packed with tropical flavor,
and just the right balance of sweet and tart.

It’s simple, vibrant, and totally refreshing. Another fave of mine? This pineapple cucumber juice is pure freshness.

What is passion fruit?

Also known as grenadille, maracujá, maracuya, or lilikoi, this tropical fruit grows on vines and comes in yellow or purple varieties. I mostly grew up with the yellow ones, and trust me—they bring the tang.

Passion fruit cut opened to remove the pulp to make juice.

Inside, the fruit is pulpy and filled with edible seeds. Some folks are wary, but the seeds are completely fine to eat.

Why we love mangoes

Mangoes are Caribbean royalty. There are thousands of varieties, and we’ve probably tried half of them by the time we hit double digits. They’re juicy, sweet, and full of nostalgia.

Ripe mangoes help balance out the tart passion fruit and give this juice that smooth, luscious texture.

To pick a good one:

Gently squeeze it, it should give a little like a ripe peach.
Avoid firm, hard mangoes.
I prefer less stringy mangoes for this juice. If yours are a bit fibrous, just strain after blending.

How to make mango passion fruit juice

Ingredients

The best ingredients for this juice need to be fresh fruit.

Fresh mango pulp.
Passion fruit pulp.
Water.
Sugar.
Angostura bitters.

Equipment and tools

For this recipe it would be good to have a:

Sieve or strainer – to separate passion fruit juice from seeds
Non-reactive bowl – glass or metal, so no weird lingering flavors
Blender – doesn’t need to be fancy! My trusty Ninja works just fine

Instructions

Wash the fruits.
Even though we’re not using the skins, give your mangoes and passion fruits a rinse to remove any dirt or debris.
Scoop out the passion fruit pulp.
Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Aim for about ½ cup of pulp.
Strain the passion fruit.
Add the pulp to a fine-mesh sieve. Use a spoon to stir and press the pulp, allowing the juice to pass through. Set aside a few seeds if you want to use them as garnish later.
Prep the mango.
Remove the mango flesh from the skin and seed. Blend the pulp with just enough water to keep the blender moving. Don’t overdo it—you’re not making mango water.
Combine the juices.
In a bowl or pitcher, mix the mango blend with the strained passion fruit juice.
Sweeten and finish.
Add water to reach your desired consistency, then stir in sugar to taste—this depends on how sweet your fruits are. Add a few dashes of Angostura bitters and give it a good stir.
Chill and serve.
Pop the juice in the fridge to chill, then serve over ice. Drop a few passion fruit seeds into each glass for a pretty little tropical garnish.

Best served chilled, and you can use passion fruit seeds as a garnish at the base of the glass.

Substitutes & Additions

No fresh fruit? Use frozen mango and passion fruit pulp readily available at Walmart or Caribbean supermarkets.
Want a frozen version? Blend with ice or use frozen concentrate for a poolside slushie.
Feeling festive? Add a splash of rum and turn this into a mango passion fruit cocktail.

Tips for the best juice

Strain passion fruit pulp with a spoon for best juice extraction.
If your passion fruit is extra tart, balance it with sweet, ripe mango.
Stick with granulated sugar so the juice color stays vibrant.
