📝 Instructions
- 1Prep fruit: peel, seed and chop papaya. Halve guavas and scoop out flesh; press through a sieve or pick out big seeds (guava seeds are edible but grainy). Halve passion fruits and scoop pulp into a bowl.
- 2Add to blender in this order: papaya, guava, passion fruit pulp, coconut water, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt.
- 3Blend on high until completely smooth (about 45–60 seconds). Stop, taste, and adjust: more honey for sweetness, more lime for acidity, or a splash more water for a thinner consistency.
- 4If you prefer a seed-free, silky juice: pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing with the back of a spoon. (If you like texture, skip straining.)
- 5Add ice to the pitcher or return strained juice + ice to the blender and pulse once to chill and slightly froth.
- 6Serve cold over ice, garnish with a lime wheel and mint. If making cocktails, add rum at the serving stage and stir gently.
