An image of a passion fruit mojito cocktail. The drink is in a tall glass, filled with ice. It's a bright, slightly translucent yellow-orange color, indicating the presence of passion fruit. Fresh mint leaves are mixed in, and a lime wedge is on the rim. The cocktail is garnished with a small sprig of mint on top. The background shows a relaxed outdoor setting, perhaps a garden or patio, to convey a refreshing and summery vibe.
