Tiki Passion Pineapple Rum Cocktail
Smooth, tasty, and easy to drink. This tiki cocktail combines passion fruit, pineapple, and citrus with dark rum. It's what I imagine a vacation would taste like if it had a flavor! Yield: Serves 1, multiply as needed
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ¾ oz passionfruit puree,* see notes
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- ¾ oz turbinado simple syrup, recipe follows
- 2 oz dark rum of choice
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, add passionfruit puree, pineapple juice, lime juice, orange juice, simples syrup, and rum. Cover and shake until mixture is chilled. Strain into serving glass filled with ice. Garnish with citrus slices and maraschino cherry.
Turbinado Simple Syrup:
- Combine 1 part water with 2 parts turbinado sugar. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Keep chilled in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to use. Syrup will be thick.
Notes
- I use this frozen passionfruit puree. It is available online. If you live in the LA/OC area, you can purchase it at Surfas. It is sold frozen. Simply thaw small portions to make this drink. Passionfruit puree is super sour. The flavor mellows out once it is mixed with sugar.
- Frozen passionfruit pulp/puree can also be found at most chain supermarkets.
