Passion Fruit Margarita Punch 🍹🌺

A Big, Bold Twist on a Classic Margarita – Built for a Crowd

Looking for the perfect drink to liven up your next party, cookout, or holiday weekend? This Passion Fruit Margarita Punch brings all the zing of a margarita with a juicy, tropical twist—and it makes a full gallon. Sweet, tart, and irresistibly sippable, it’s your one-stop solution for a pitcher that empties faster than you can refill it.


Why I Love This Recipe

There’s something magical about big-batch cocktails that say, “I’ve got the drinks handled.” This punch is:

  • Tropical and refreshing, thanks to the passion fruit juice
  • Citrusy and balanced from lime, orange, and sweet & sour mix
  • Strong enough to satisfy—but dangerously smooth
  • The ultimate set-it-and-forget-it party drink

If you’re into fruity cocktails like blueberry lemonade or rainbow sangria, this is your next obsession.


Ingredients (Serves a Crowd – Makes 1 Gallon)

  • 4 cups Tequila (silver or reposado works great)
  • 1 cup Triple Sec (or other orange liqueur)
  • 1 cup Lime Juice (fresh if possible)
  • 2 cups Sweet & Sour Mix
  • 4 cups Passion Fruit Juice
  • 1–2 cups Orange Juice, to taste
  • Fresh Orange Slices, Strawberries, and Lime Rounds, for garnish

Optional Upgrades & Variations

  • Swap in mango or guava juice for a tropical remix
  • Add sparkling water or club soda right before serving for a fizzy lift
  • Use mezcal for a smoky twist
  • Stir in a dash of chili lime seasoning or rim glasses with Tajín for a spicy edge

How to Make Passion Fruit Margarita Punch

1. Prep Your Fruit
Slice oranges, limes, and strawberries. Add them to a clean 1-gallon drink dispenser or pitcher.

2. Mix the Liquids
Pour in the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, sweet & sour mix, passion fruit juice, and orange juice. Adjust the orange juice for sweetness.

3. Stir & Chill
Stir everything together and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This lets the flavors meld and the fruit infuse the punch.

4. Serve
Serve over ice in margarita or highball glasses. Garnish with extra fruit and enjoy responsibly!


Tips for Punch Perfection

  • Use high-quality juices—fresh or 100% juice, no sugar-added if you can
  • Chill everything ahead of time so the punch stays cool without too much ice dilution
  • Make it ahead—it tastes even better after sitting for a few hours
  • Keep the garnish coming—floating fruit makes it look as good as it tastes

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

This punch is a natural match for a laid-back feast. Try it with:


Storage Tips

  • Leftovers: Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Make-ahead tip: Mix everything except citrus juice and fruit the night before. Add fresh elements just before serving.
  • Alcohol-free version: Sub lemon-lime soda for tequila and triple sec for a fun mocktail twist.
