Overview

The Ipamena is a bright, refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail with a tropical citrus profile and gentle effervescence. Fresh lime and passion fruit create a tangy core, balanced by soft sweetness and lifted by sparkling ginger notes for a clean, cooling finish.

Preparation Method

In a shaker, muddle the lime pieces with the brown sugar to extract the oils and dissolve the sugar. Add the passion fruit juice and ice, then shake vigorously until well chilled. Strain into a wine glass filled with fresh ice. Top with ginger ale, stir gently to integrate, and garnish with a lime slice.
