Made entirely with fresh fruit from Stepladder Creamery! We love using a mix of whatever citrus is in season. Many of these unique varieties can also be found at Bay Area farmers markets.

Ingredients

• 4 passion fruit
• 1½–2 cups fresh mixed citrus juice (about 5–10 citrus, depending on size)
  • Our favorite combination: 1 Ruby Star grapefruit, 3 New Zealand oranges, 1 large Lisbon lemon
• ½ cup Stepladder honey
• Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
• 6–8 cups cold water, to taste

Instructions

1. Scoop the pulp from the passion fruit and place it in a blender. Pulse a few times to help separate the juice from the seeds.
2. Strain out the seeds and reserve the passion fruit juice.
3. Juice the citrus and combine with the passion fruit juice.
4. Add the honey and a pinch of pink salt. Blend for about 45 seconds, until the honey is fully incorporated.
5. Pour into a large pitcher and add 6–8 cups of cold water, depending on how strong you like your citrus-ade. (We find that about 4 cups of water per 1 cup of juice creates a bright, refreshing balance.) This ratio is consistent with many classic citrus-ade recipes.
6. Taste and adjust with additional honey, salt, or water as desired.
   Serve well chilled over ice.

Notes

• Sweeter citrus varieties may need less honey.
• A small pinch of salt enhances the fruit flavors without making the drink taste salty.
• For a sparkling version, replace half of the water with sparkling water just before serving.

Enjoy!
