Passion fruit & rum cocktail

Passion fruit & rum cocktail

This take on the classic Hurricane is the equivalent of a tropical island in liquid form. Don’t feel limited to a wedge of lemon when garnishing – go all-out retro with glacé cherries and maybe a dinky cocktail umbrella or two.

Ingredients

  • 40ml white rum
  • 40ml dark rum
  • 30ml lemon juice
  • sparkling water
  • Lemon or lime wedge and glacé cherries, to garnish (optional)

Syrup

  • 6 passion fruit, flesh and seeds
  • 80g caster sugar

Method

  1. For the syrup, put the passion fruit in the small bowl of a food processor (or blender); whizz to combine. Sieve into a jug or small bowl, discarding the seeds; you should have 4 tbsp juice.

  2. Put the sugar and 40ml water in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and stir in the passion fruit juice. Set aside to cool completely.

  3. Put the syrup, rums (we used Havana) and the lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Fill 2 tall glasses with ice, pour over the cocktail, then top up with sparkling water and garnish, if liked.
