Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz passion fruit puree
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- Ice
- Passion fruit slice for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients and tools you will need: white rum, passion fruit puree, lime juice, simple syrup, ice, and a slice of passion fruit for garnish. You will also need a cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, and a glass for serving.
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice to chill the ingredients while mixing. This will help ensure your cocktail is refreshingly cold when served.
- Using the jigger, measure out 2 oz of white rum and pour it into the cocktail shaker over the ice. White rum is the base of this cocktail, providing a smooth and light flavor.
- Next, measure 1 oz of passion fruit puree and add it to the shaker. The puree adds a tropical sweetness and vibrant flavor that is essential to the cocktail.
- Measure 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice and add it to the shaker. The acidity of the lime juice balances the sweetness of the passion fruit and simple syrup.
- Now, measure 1 oz of simple syrup and pour it into the shaker. This will enhance the sweetness of the cocktail, making it delightful and refreshing.
- Seal the cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will mix all the ingredients well and chill the cocktail.
- Prepare your serving glass by filling it with fresh ice if desired. This will keep your cocktail cold as you enjoy it.
- Once shaken, strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture without any pulp.
- Garnish your cocktail with a slice of passion fruit on the rim of the glass. This not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances the tropical aroma of the drink.
- Your Passion Fruit Rum Cocktail is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savor the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean.
Tips
- Always use fresh ingredients: Freshly squeezed lime juice and high-quality passion fruit puree make a significant difference in flavor.

- For a more intense tropical experience, rim the glass with a mix of sugar and dried passion fruit powder.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the drink at its freshest and most vibrant state.
