Method
Cocktail
Add ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with cubed ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 1.5 oz vodka, 1.5 oz white rum, 0.75 oz passion fruit syrup, and 0.5 oz crème de banana.
Add juices
Add 1 oz fresh orange juice, 1 oz pineapple juice and 1 oz cranberry juice to the shaker with the spirits and syrups.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the exterior of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.
Garnish & Finish
Thread a maraschino cherry onto a cocktail pick and rest it across a pineapple wedge (or skewer both). Garnish the glass with the pineapple wedge and cherry on the rim; optionally add an orange slice. Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately.
