Notes
Fresh passionfruit juice is used in this drink from about 10 passionfruits. To separate the seeds from the juice and pulp, blend on the lowest setting of your blender for 2-3 seconds. Strain.
You can substitute with bottled juice, I suggest finding 100% juice to match the flavor profile of the drink. I will order passionfruit juice from Aunty Lilikoi online if I can't find anything in stores near me when fresh passionfruit are no longer in season.
Passionfruit simple syrup - you can make on your own or you can purchase either online or in a well stocked liquor store. If I don't have any homemade or passionfruit are out of season I will purchase from Small Hand Foods. They are a wide variety of cocktail syrups that are fantastic.
Bitter element - for your bitter element if you don't have Bruto Americano, you can use Campari, Aperol, or a bitters such as Angostura, a citrus bitters or any bitters you like. The bitters help balance out the flavors of the drink.
To make this non-alcoholic, substitute the rums with a light colored juice or coconut water and add in some soda water for a little fizz after swizzling. You could also use a non-alcoholic spirit, there are many on the market today.
