The Ipanema mocktail is a non-alcoholic version of the famous Brazilian cocktail Caipirinha, which is made with cachaça rum. In an Ipanema, however, ginger ale is used, which you can also replace with ginger beer. The caipirinha and ipanema are not exactly the same, as different ingredients are used, but the caipirinha is used as a starting point.

This mocktail is fresh and slightly sweet, making it incredibly thirst-quenching, perfect for a hot summer day. The name Ipanema comes from the famous beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Making the Ipanema mocktail - 10 minutes

Slice a lime into small wedges and place them together with 2 teaspoons of cane sugar in a large glass.

Use a muddler to press out the juice and dissolve the cane sugar.

Add 100 ml of passion fruit juice and 100 ml of ginger ale to this.

Do not fill the glass completely with ice cubes or crushed ice and garnish with half a passion fruit. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips!

Is Ipanema a cocktail?

The Ipanema cocktail is actually a mocktail, as it contains no alcohol. Still, this drink is often called a cocktail, probably because it is based on the Brazilian Caipirinha cocktail.

Can I replace the passion fruit juice?

You can replace the passion fruit juice with orange juice; the mocktail will then taste different and be a bit less sweet.

Why is it called a mocktail?

A mocktail looks like a cocktail but without the alcohol. "Mock" means "pretend"; a mocktail is a fake cocktail.
