Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 fresh passion fruits
- 45 ml white overproof rum (unaged Jamaican/funky)
- 22.5 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
- 15 ml sugar syrup ‘rich’ (2 parts sugar to 1 part water, 65.0°Brix)
- 15 ml passion fruit syrup
- 45 ml brut champagne or sparkling wine
Instructions
- Prepare the Passion Fruit: Cut the fresh passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a mixing glass or shaker.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the white overproof Jamaican rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, rich sugar syrup, and passion fruit syrup into the same container with the passion fruit pulp.
- Mix the Punch: Stir or shake the mixture gently to combine the ingredients thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld while maintaining some texture from the passion fruit seeds.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice, removing seeds and pulp if preferred for a smoother texture or leaving them in for rustic presentation.
- Top with Champagne: Finish by gently pouring the brut champagne or sparkling wine on top to add effervescence and brightness to the punch.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally garnish with a slice of lime or a passion fruit half on the rim for a decorative touch and serve immediately while bubbly and fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh passion fruit for the best aromatic flavor and natural tartness.
- Adjust sugar syrup levels depending on your sweetness preference.
- Ensure the champagne or sparkling wine is chilled to maintain the cocktail’s refreshing quality.
- Overproof Jamaican rum provides a distinctive funky flavor, but you can substitute with any white overproof rum if unavailable.
- This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to preserve the champagne’s bubbles.
