Rum Passion Cocktails
The Occasion: Drinks on the patio one fine weekend afternoon

The Circumstances: Unexpected uses for leftovers

Leftovers, wut? Yes, it’s like this. We recently hosted a dinner party for which our friends Karen and Kathleen (excellent cooks the both of them, members of our Foodie Group) brought dessert. It was a luscious passion fruit mousse served with passion fruit sauce. (molho de maracujá)

Now we all know there are pros and cons to hosting dinner parties. A big pro is that the tasty tasty leftovers often stay behind with you. (Con: doing the dishes.)

The leftover passion fruit sauce spoke to Ilise in a deep and meaningful way, beckoned to her in the form of a cocktail inspiration. And lo! The Rum Passion Cocktail was born.
​
This baby is both refreshing and complex, knocking your socks off and sending a breeze blowing through your hair – all at the same time. It could be fun to experiment with some of the new aged rums on the market. Just be sure to bring the passion!

INGREDIENTS:

The passion fruit syrup requires frozen passion fruit purée which is available at Hispanic markets. Or you can make fresh purée if you prefer.
  • 3/4 cup passion fruit purée  
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • In a nonreactive saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat.
  • When the sugar dissolves, cook another 3 minutes, then add the passion fruit purée and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Chill covered.
