Notes
Store unused passion fruit syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Fresh-squeezed juices make a big difference in taste compared to bottled versions.
The drink can be made less strong by reducing the rum to 1.5 oz each of light and dark.
For a sweeter drink, add an extra 1/2 oz of passion fruit syrup.
This recipe makes one serving. Double or triple the ingredients to make multiple drinks at once.
