Ingredients
  

For the cocktail
  • 2 ounces white rum
  • 1 fresh passion fruit
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons simple syrup
  • 8 to 10 leaves mint leaves
  • soda water to top
  • ice
Optional Garnishes
  • 1 sprig of mint
  • 1 lime slice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the mint leaves and simple syrup to a sturdy glass. Gently press the mint a few times with the back of a spoon.
  2. Add the passion fruit pulp, lime juice, and rum. Stir it together.
  3. Fill the glass with ice. Top with soda water and give it one more gentle stir.
  4. Taste the drink. If it is too tart, add a little more syrup. If it feels too sweet, squeeze in a little more lime.
  5. Garnish with a sprig of mint and maybe a lime slice. Serve right away.

Notes

For a mocktail, substitute the rum with soda water or sparkling water. Taste as you go, and adjust sweetness based on the passion fruit's tartness. If making a pitcher, prepare everything except the soda water ahead of time.
