Halve passion fruits and scoop pulp and seeds into a blender. Blend pulp briefly (seeds should still be in large pieces). Force fruit through a fine sieve into a measuring cup and discard solids. In a blender, blend 1/2 cup purée with remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour drink into 4 stemmed glasses.
