Equipment
- cocktail shaker

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces lime juice freshly squeezed from 1 medium lime
- 1/2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- 4 ounces passion fruit juice
- 3 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce Cointreau or triple sec (optional)
- 1 ripe passion fruit pulp extracted, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large cocktail shaker combine the lime juice and turbinado sugar. Swirl the mixture around to dissolve as much of the sugar as possible. Add 1 cup (or a generous handful) of ice cubes to the shaker.
- Add the passion fruit juice, white rum, and Cointreau to the shaker with the ice and lime juice. Cap the shaker.
- Give the shaker a vigorous shake for 30 seconds or until the outside of the shaker frosts over.
- Scoop out the pulp from half of a fresh passion fruit into a daiquiri glass. Add the other half's pulp to the second glass. Divide the classic passion fruit daiquiri equally between the two glasses pouring it over the pulp.
- Garnish with edible flowers and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
Swaps and Subs:
- Use white or brown sugar instead of turbinado. You can also replace the sugar with 2 tablespoons (or less) of liquid sweetener like: agave syrup, honey, or simple syrup.
- Replace the rum with vodka or gin and the Cointreau with sweet vermouth to make a Passion Fruit Martini.
- Replace the rum with gin to make a Passion Fruit Gimlet.
- Any tropical fruit juice can replace the passion fruit juice and pulp.
- Use your favorite citrus juice in place of the fresh lime juice.
