Cocktail Preparation
Measure and add ingredients
Into a blender add 2 oz Bacardi Superior rum, 1 oz lilikoi (passion fruit) syrup, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz pineapple juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Add ice and blend
Add about 1.5 cups of ice to the blender. Use a medium-high setting and pulse for 10–15 seconds, then blend continuously for 10–20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slightly slushy. Avoid over-blending so it doesn't become too watery.
Taste and adjust
Taste the blended cocktail and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed: add up to 0.25 oz more simple syrup for sweetness or 0.25 oz more lime juice for brightness. Pulse briefly to incorporate any additions.
Serve
Pour the blended cocktail into a chilled Collins or hurricane glass, leaving a little headspace for garnish. The texture should be slushy and smooth.
Garnish & Finish
Float one passion fruit wheel or a spoonful of passion fruit pulp on top of the drink for aroma and visual appeal.
Slap the mint sprig between your palms to release oils and place it on the rim or in the drink as a final aromatic garnish.
