For the cocktail (makes 2 servings)

1/2 cups fresh passionfruit pulp (about 2-3 ripe passionfruits)

1/2 cups fresh orange juice (preferably from navel oranges)

1/2 cups guava nectar or guava juice (preferably unsweetened)

4 tbs Don Q white rum (or your preferred Don Q expression)

1 tbs simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) — adjust to taste

1 tbs Fresh lime juice

2 dashes Angostura bitters (optional, for depth)

2 cups crushed ice or ice cubes

For garnish and serving

2 pieces orange wheels or wedges

1 pieces passionfruit halves (for garnish)

2 sprigs mint sprigs (optional)

Method

Prepare the fruit elements

Extract passionfruit

Cut 2–3 ripe passionfruits in half and scoop the pulp (seeds + juice) into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Press with the back of a spoon to extract more juice and a little pulp into the bowl. Aim for about 1/2 cup of combined pulp and juice. If you prefer more texture, reserve some of the seeds instead of fully straining.

Juice the oranges to yield about 1/2 cup (one large orange or two small). Strain any large pulp if you want a smoother drink. Measure 1/2 cup guava nectar or juice.

Build and shake

In a cocktail shaker or large jar, combine the passionfruit pulp (or strained juice), 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/2 cup guava nectar, 4 tablespoons Don Q rum (2 Tbsp per serving), 1 tablespoon simple syrup, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice.

Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters if using. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1–1.5 cups) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Serve

Fill two highball glasses or coupe glasses with crushed ice or ice cubes (about 1/2 cup ice per glass). Strain the shaken cocktail evenly between the two glasses. If you reserved passionfruit seeds and like texture, use a small spoon to divide seeds between glasses before pouring.

Garnish each glass with an orange wheel or wedge and a half passionfruit (floating with seeds visible) and a mint sprig if desired. For extra show, squeeze a little orange over the surface just before serving.

Serve immediately. Stir lightly before drinking to incorporate any settled fruit pulp. Adjust sweetness with additional simple syrup to taste.
