FAQ's
Can I use fresh passion fruit instead of passion fruit juice?
Yes, you can use fresh passion fruit instead of passion fruit juice. However, since fresh passion fruit is more potent and tart, you may want to add a bit of extra sugar syrup to balance the flavor.
What is the best way to muddle mint leaves for the Paris BMXtreme Smash?
To muddle mint leaves effectively, place them in the bottom of your shaker or glass, add a bit of sugar or sugar syrup, and gently press with a muddler or the back of a spoon. Be careful not to tear the leaves excessively; you want to release the essential oils without making the mint too bitter.
