Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz white rum I used Bacardi Carta Blanca
  • 2 passionfruit
  • 1 lime
  • 1.5 oz simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar heated until the sugar evaporates)
  • 3/4 oz vanilla syrup I used Monin
  • Dozen mint leaves
  • soda water
  • ice

Method
 

  1. Prepare simple syrup by gently heating equal parts water and sugar (I usually just eyeball it!) until the sugar has evaporated. Leave aside to cool.
  2. Muddle juice from 1 lime, pulp from 1 passionfruit, mint leaves (leave a couple aside for garnish) and simple syrup in your shaker.
  3. Pour in the vanilla syrup, white rum, and fill shaker with ice. Shake for roughly 30secs, until shaker is cold and exterior is frosted.
  4. Pour the contents of the shaker into two ice filled tumblers. Top with soda water.
  5. Garnish with the second passionfruit, sliced in half, and a sprig of mint.

Notes

Keep your rum in the freezer before making for optimum coolness
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, don't worry, just give it a good stir instead!
I used normal ice cubes for ease but if you can get crushed ice / want to crush regular ice for this it'll make it more traditionally a mojito
