Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Havana 3 Year White Rum (or aged light rum)1/2 oz Malibu Coconut Rum1 oz Passion fruit puree (or passion fruit syrup)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice3 oz Lemonade (chilled, fizzy)1 cup Ice (cubed)

Garnish

1 each Lemon wheel1/2 each Fresh passion fruit half (optional)1 each Mint sprig (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Build and mix

Fill a highball or large wine glass with cubed ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 1.5 oz Havana 3 Year rum and 0.5 oz Malibu. Add 1 oz passion fruit puree (or syrup) and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice.

Top with lemonade

Gently pour 3 oz chilled fizzy lemonade over the back of a spoon (or down the glass side) to preserve bubbles and create a layered spritz effect. Give the drink one or two gentle stirs with a bar spoon to combine—do not over-stir to keep effervescence.

Adjust sweetness

Taste and if the passion fruit is very tart, add up to 0.25 oz simple syrup or an additional 0.5 oz lemonade to balance. Stir gently after adjusting.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the glass with a lemon wheel on the rim. If using, float half a fresh passion fruit (cut side up) on top for aroma and visual appeal and add a mint sprig for a fresh note.

Serve immediately with a straw or short stirrer. Recommend serving chilled and consuming while fizzy.
