Method
Cocktail
Prepare shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice (approximately 1 cup).
Add spirits and mixers
Into the shaker add 1.5 oz white rum (or Malibu coconut rum for a coconut note), 0.75 oz Cointreau, and 0.5 oz passion fruit liqueur or syrup.
Add juices and sweetener
Pour in 2 oz fresh pineapple juice and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 0.25 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste).
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted.
Strain and serve
Fill a chilled Collins or highball glass with fresh ice (or use the glass of ice already prepared). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass to remove any pulp or ice shards.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish the drink with a pineapple wedge on the rim and a lime wheel. If using fresh passion fruit, scoop half the passion fruit pulp over the top for aroma and visual appeal.
Serve immediately with a straw. Estimated alcohol content will be typical of a rum-forward mixed cocktail—remind guests to enjoy responsibly.
