Passion Daiquiri

Pro tips

• Shake vigorously with fresh ice for at least 10 seconds to chill thoroughly and aerate the cocktail.
• Strain immediately into a pre-chilled glass to prevent dilution and maintain brightness.
• Use fresh lime juice, never bottled, for better acidity and flavor balance against the passion fruit's sweetness.
• Adjust powdered sugar to taste—passion fruit juice varies in acidity, so you may need slightly more or less sugar.

Substitutions

• Mr. Boston Rum → Bacardi or other white rum (neutral profile)
• Powdered sugar → simple syrup, 1 tsp (easier to mix, same sweetness)
• Fresh lime juice → bottled lime juice (less ideal but acceptable in a pinch)

Storage & make-ahead

Prepare the mix (rum, juices, sugar) up to 2 days ahead in a sealed bottle; shake with ice and serve fresh each time.

Equipment

cocktail shaker · jigger or measuring spoon · cocktail strainer · chilled coupe or rocks glass

Can I use fresh passion fruit instead of passion fruit juice?

Yes. Scoop the pulp and juice from 1–2 fresh passion fruits, strain if you prefer fewer seeds, and use in place of bottled juice.

What type of rum works best?

White or light rum is traditional; it lets the passion fruit and lime flavors shine. Avoid dark or spiced rum for this recipe.

Should this be served frozen or on the rocks?

Either works. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe for a classic daiquiri, or serve over fresh ice in a rocks glass.

Can I make a batch ahead?

Yes. Mix rum, lime juice, passion fruit juice, and powdered sugar in advance; chill. Shake with ice and serve when ready.
