World Passion Fruit Martini Day

May 28, Wednesday

World Passion Fruit Martini Day is celebrated annually on May 28 and is dedicated to one of the most popular modern cocktails — the Passion Fruit Martini. This day was officially established in 2021 by Funkin Cocktails, a company specializing in producing cocktail purées.

Origin of the cocktail
The Passion Fruit Martini, originally known as the "Passion Fruit Caipiroska," originated in Brazil in the 1940s as a variation of the classic "Caipiroska" cocktail made from lime juice, sugar, and cachaça. Bartenders started experimenting by adding passion fruit, which gave the cocktail a unique sweetness and a spicy aftertaste.

In the early 2000s, the cocktail made its way to London, quickly becoming a staple in the cocktail scene due to its unique blend of sweet and tangy flavors and its vibrant color. The cocktail's popularity soared, and it began appearing in bars and restaurants worldwide, with each establishment adding its own twist to this modern classic.

How to celebrate the day
World Passion Fruit Martini Day is not only an opportunity to enjoy your favorite cocktail but also a chance to get creative with your drink making. Here are a few ideas for celebration:
