Passion Juice Beirut

Cocktails out of this world

""Passion Juice" in Beirut makes fruit cocktails with milk, honey, ashta, nuts... Not just a dessert to have after lunch: these cocktails are full meals!"

If you feel like experiencing something local, tasty, sweet and healthy, then it is the time for a cocktail :) Fruit cocktails are a part of Lebanese folklore -- you will find juice bars all over Lebanon. Usually they are connected to a "khodra" (vegetable) store, where they get all the fresh ingredients from.

I remember when I first had my cocktail, I considered it a dessert after lunch, but ouff, it is actually much more than that -- it is a meal! I would recommend it for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

My favorite place is Passion Juice by Beit Moussalem: they are clean, having high-quality fruits and vegetables, and their cocktails are not too sweet (you can actually modify it and ask them to prepare one without honey or milk...)

So, what are we talking about here? Basically, you can choose from different classic fresh fruit juices (orange, mango, pomegranate, carrot...). The specialties are either cocktail, which is pieces of fruit mixed with nuts, honey & ashta (a kind of cottage cheese) or a juice cocktail made with milk and various fruits (mango, pineapple, strawberry, banana), you can add honey nuts and ashta.

I would put into your consideration to avocado cocktail. Me, as a European, I'm used to salty avocado, guacamole style. Here you'll get a thick avocado juice, or mash, sweetened with honey (asha and nuts are great choice with it). Mmmmm I think I'm going to order delivery right now :)!

We entered the shop and were greeted by an affable gent who suggested we try out some sweet bites displayed on a black platter. And we did. Delicious!

Falafel Joseph broadened his menu and opened a "restaurant" a couple of hundred meters away. The restaurant serves one of the tastiest chicken shawarma in town!

A Hidden Gem

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small.
